This is a Wurlitzer theater pipe organ. It was built in 1930 for the Metropolitan Theater in Boston. The organist would accompany silent movies or performers on the stage.

The organ has been restored and installed in a new theater designed specifically for it. The console can control the eleven  percussion instruments mounted on the wall, along with the two pianos on either side. A few of the pipes are visible to the far left and right. The rest of the 2380 pipes are in two separate rooms, with the sound coming through the six openings high on the back wall.

Below are some photos of a murals in a house. The architect has used many yacht inspired details in the construction. I am gilding stripes on the living room walls from several different yacht builders. The ones shown are from the Fife and the Lyman-Morse companies.

I have my sources.
