Notes

2005-01-08 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 31, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2005-05-31 - From Andrew MacGregor: This organ was dismantled and sent to another church about 1978-1981. I do know that at least a few ranks of this organ were removed before it made it to its destination. Of possible interest is this: One of the Austin pedal ranks (of wood) was cut up and fashioned into keys for the manuals of the organ that replaced it (Karl Wilhelm organ). -Database Manager

2014-02-23 - New Austin console in 1946; replaced by 3/61 Karl Wilhelm in 1981; church destroyed by fire 2010. -Database Manager
