2004-12-21 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 20, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager
2013-05-23 - Updated through online information from Jim Thompson. -- Additional note to the submitted stoplist: This organ would have been rebuilt to its original status by Austin, following a fire in December, 1932. -Database Manager
2023-06-01 - I am submitting a pdf file (which may, or may not, last long enough as it covers the "Decommissioning" service of Covenant Presbyterian 2023). It has a scanned photo of the original Austin organ placed in (at that time) 'First' Presbyterian, Butler. It shows "Gothic" cases on each side of the chancel area (which is mirrored in the Möller installation of 1948 and ff.). An historical reference. -Jimmy Thompson
