CHERISHING OUR VALLEY 2013
In the 1920s into the 1930s, the Robert Morton Organ Company in Van Nuys was one of the largest organ manufacturers in America. Silent movies were never "silent" and the organ was a major element in the cinema. Some Morton theater pipe organs are still in service today.

Where was the factory located when it was in Los Angeles?
If the factory closed in 1933, where were the 1950s pictures taken? Is the original building still around? Where was it?
