Did you know Ironstone Vineyards is also home to the pipe organ that used to be inside the Alhambra Theatre in Sacramento ?


The Robert Morton Theatre Organ was built in 1927 in Van Nuys, California, and was housed in the Alhambra Theatre in Sacramento, California. After the theatre closed its doors, the organ was removed and placed in the First Baptist Church in nearby Stockton.

When the church decided to remodel and dispose of the organ, Bob Hartzell purchased it to save the organ from being broken up and sold in pieces. He kept it until John Kautz obtained the organ for Ironstone Vineyards and designed the Alhambra Music Room especially to house it.

The organ itself, is a theatrical organ, meaning that it makes the specialized sounds used for old silent movies. The organ also has 14 ranks of pipes, each containing 61-97 pipes per rank. The organ is played on numerous occasions, including special concerts, private events and their Silent Movie Nights, which feature a buffet dinner and live accompaniment on the organ.

I recently stopped into the Towe Auto Museum and got a chance to hear such an organ during their silent movie night. I can't wait to head down to Ironstone to see a movie there.
