Notes

2004-10-30 - Moved to new buildings twice, the last time in 1931. Replaced in 1965. -Database Manager

2007-04-30 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ has only been in two locations...not three. It was originally built for the parish at Harvard & Spring. It was relocated to the new (present) building in 1931 and installed "as is" in the front, left corner of the building, and elevated at about three stories. A lattice-work grille obscured the pipes from view. This was likely done by Kimball Representative Arthur D. Longmore. The organ remained T-P in this location and was described by Peter Hallock and others as being painfully slow since the tubing runs were substantially longer than as originally installed. The Kimball was replaced by a new Flentrop tracker in 1965, and was broken-up for parts. -Database Manager
