Notes

2005-04-07 - Identified through information in Vol VI p. 90 of the Pilcher factory ledgers and a list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below. -Database Manager

2005-04-07 - Original price: $395 Rebuild -Database Manager

2015-01-19 - A 2011 article in the <i>Houston Chronicle</i> shows a three-manual console, so the organ must have been rebuilt at some point. Pictures of the final service (from the Diocese of Texas website) show a pipe facade that is not characteristic of a 1922 organ -- more evidence that the organ was significantly rebuilt at some point. -Database Manager

2015-01-24 - Updated through online information from Bradford Willis. -- The original church was known as the Eastwood Community Church and was founded in 1919. According to an article in the Houston Chronicle on February 25, 2011, the current edifice was to be closed in February 2011 due the structure needing $7 million of repairs to bring it up to code. The congregation was then to share the edifice of the Evangelical Lutheran Church of the Redeemer of Houston. -Database Manager

2024-01-09 - It was renovated by Henry J. Haury in 1951-52 and received a new 3-manual Moller and various parts; replaced in 1978 by a 3/47 Gress-Miles. . -Jeff Scofield
