Notes

2005-04-06 - Identified through information from a list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below. -Database Manager

2015-05-29 - Updated through online information from James (Bud) Taylor. -- This organ was reconfigured by John T. Widener ca. 1951, utilizing supply-house windchests. Also, the original Choir pipework was removed, and then-new pipework installed for a Positiv division. The organ remained in that state until destroyed by fire in 1983. -Database Manager

2017-05-08 - The organ was rebuilt by John T. Widener, Jr., in 1954, at which time the organ was divided to each side of the gallery window; a new console and blower were supplied by Schantz for the rebuild; the old Choir division was retained - and new pipes were added at a later date. -Database Manager
