I have never seen the photos of the Ruth organ at Santa Cruz Beach
Boardwalk. However, in this same general area upstairs, a photo
exists of the interior of the Casino building. The Casino building
burned circa 1906 and, judging by the photo, the fire took some sort
of Welte Cottage Orchestrion with it. I am not well enough versed
in the Welte orchestrions to give a style, but it did have that
familiar Welte style facade.
