Rich Greenland, that’s who! Rich lives near the Wurlitzer Building in North Tonawanda, New York.
In 2023, Rich took extensive drone videos of the site, and posted excerpts of the footage to YouTube:
Rich has graciously licensed his footage for use in the Organ Grinder documentary.
A bit of history:
Already an established company making pianos, Wurlitzer began construction of the iconic headquarters and factory complex in 1982, with construction and expansion continuing all the way into the mid 20th century.
Not only was this the home of production of the Mighty Wurlitzer theatre pipe organs, it later produced tens of thousands of jukeboxes annually.
In the 1970s, the building fell into disuse, and was at one point in danger of being torn down.
It has now been repurposed as a flexible industrial/office space, with multiple tenants, an event space, and a restaurant.
