Notes

2005-09-13 - Rebuild of the church's 1914 Austin Op. 487. -Database Manager

2012-11-08 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The Reuter contract was essentially for a new console and the addition of seven ranks and associated windchests for the existing Austin organ, which was installed in the landmark Louis Sullivan building when it was built in 1914; replaced by 3/43 Sipe in 1977. -Database Manager
