Notes

2005-06-28 - Identified through information in <i>Classified List of Hall Organs</i>, published in 1929 by Hall Organ Co., West Haven, Connecticut. -Database Manager

2009-05-19 - Updated through on-line information from Geoff Johnson. -- I removed this organ from service at First Lutheran in 1995 as part of a renovation project I was hired to do to prepare the sanctuary for a new digital organ. The console was surrounded by half walls. Upon demolition of these half walls, I discovered the console had been severely damaged by earlier alterations (holes drilled through its case). The console was discarded, though I salvaged the keyboards, stops and "Hall" nameplate, which I still have. The four-rank unit windchest and its pipes remained in place as of 1995. Based on my observation of this organ installation, I do not believe it was the original Hall installation; the organ having been relocated from some other location. -Database Manager
