A world-renowned Lake City business, Dobson Pipe Organ Builders, celebrated the grand opening of its new facility today (Tuesday) following a devastating fire three years ago. Community leaders and residents gathered in downtown Lake City for the company’s ribbon cutting. Dobson owner John Panning announced in 2022 that they were committed to rebuilding on the same site as their former headquarters, which was completely destroyed by a June 15, 2021 fire. Dobson staff continued building organs while their new facilities were under construction, working out of various open spaces provided by the community. Dobson Pipe Organ Builders organs, known as opuses, are featured in cathedrals, churches, performing arts centers, and college campuses throughout the U.S. and worldwide.
