Notes

2005-01-07 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 29, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2012-08-02 - Updated through online information from Will Dunklin. -- Austin incorporated parts of the church's 1901 Steere organ. The Austin stood front and center behind the pulpit when new. It was relocated to the front side balconies during the 1950's. A Holtkamp organ has been installed since that time. The fate of the Austin is unknown. -Database Manager
