Notes

2005-04-07 - Identified through information in the Pilcher factory ledgers, a handwritten list of organs and notes on the firm's history, and an emended copy of a list of organs from a catalog c. 1870. For more information see the document referenced below. -Database Manager

2005-04-07 - 54n man, 17n ped. -Database Manager

2005-04-07 - In the first lists, this organ was originally assigned number 6. -Database Manager

2023-01-08 - This church was erected in 1852, and was extant in 1863. By 1864, the building had become the hall of the St. Louis Dramatic Association, and in April 1867 it was put up for sale. (Source: city directories and newspaper articles) Since the address no longer exists, it seems safe to conclude that this organ is not extant. -Carl Scott Zimmerman
