Notes

2005-07-27 - Rebuilt by Wicks in 1925 as Op. 420 and by Paul Brendel in 1993. Now (2004) 2m., 30rk. STLAGO shows the organ as 1885, but St. Agatha's building wasn't completed until 1889. Fire in 1921 damaged the steeple and roof, which may have necessitated the 1925 Wicks rebuild.(Information from the AGO St. Louis Chapter Yearbook, 2004-2005.) -Database Manager

2011-05-04 - Updated through online information from Michael Bavlsik. -Database Manager

2012-03-07 - Updated through online information from Ron Yeater. -- In neither the Wicks nor the Brendel rebuilds was there tremendous alteration of the Pfeffer tonal scheme. The organ still has the soul of a Pfeffer!! -Database Manager
