Guthrie Depot
The old Santa Fe depot in Guthrie was completed in 1903, when Guthrie was still the capitol. It was the hub of activity for the area with passenger and mail service, news stand, and restaurant. Today, it still houses a great restaurant, a very interesting museum, and an events center.

Kimball Organ in the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple, Denver, Colorado
The 1925 W. W. Kimball Pipe Organ was installed in the Denver Consistory building at the completion of construction in 1925. The pipes of the Great and Accompaniment divisions are hidden in the ceiling at the west end of the immense auditorium and those of the Solo are hidden at the east end. There are a total of 1,496 pipes. The first meeting in the new building was held on May 7, 1925.
The Kimball Organ was selected for recognition as an instrument of exceptional historic merit worthy of preservation by the Organ Historical Society. The organ is a unique instrument and only a few still exist. It is neither a church organ nor a theatrical one. It is one of the few that were designed to be something in between the two. Its design was for a wide variety of uses in many venues. The significant requirement of this honor is that the Consistory has been appointed by the Organ Historical Society as the trustee for the organ as long as the instrument is “maintained in a manner consistent with its historical significance.” Simply put, this establishes a requirement for the organ to be kept in perpetual care and maintenance so that it is in good working order at all times. Unlike other mechanical devices, an organ is a device that continually maintains its service as long as it is in good repair.
The age of this organ is the sole reason repair and restoration was required. While Denver Consistory has provided regular care and maintenance, over the years, wood and leather deteriorated. As recently as 2004, the organ’s relay system was replaced with a new solid-state system at a cost of $27,000, totally borne by Denver Consistory to insure the organ is maintained in its present location. Yet additional repair and replacement of the leather reservoirs and expression, tremolos, harp, chimes and percussions were required. While some “patches” have been made over the years, complete leather replacement was needed.
Even with the organ being kept in good repair, after more than 80 years of continued use the all important leather components were worn out. Continued patching could no longer suffice to keep the organ in good working condition. Without needed repairs, there was a strong probability that irreparable damage would occur. During a two year project (2008–10), total repair was accomplished with the exceptional support of the Colorado Historical Society.
Today, this 1925 W. W. Kimball Pipe Organ No. 6781 is ready to provide another 80 years or more of quality music. This enables the Denver Consistory to pursue its continuing objectives of being an integral link in the community’s dedication to being a vibrant cultural mecca for all citizens through multi-purpose use in support of our Masonic traditions and for the community as a whole through continued public access and use.
