Notes

2005-11-24 - Identified from the Reuter Opus List, provided by Chris Leaver, Reuter Organ Co., November, 2005. -Database Manager

2018-09-11 - The congregation relocated and the building was sold to Oasis Church in 2012. -Database Manager

2019-05-26 - The organ probably included parts from a 1911 Murray Harris organ that was moved to the present building in 1925; there were also nameplates on the Reuter console identifying the Johnston Organ Co. and Pipe Organs, Inc. In the early 2000's, the church was given the large 4-manual Moller console from Pomona College in Claremont to be used in the rebuilding and expansion project for the Reuter; alas the 2008 financial crisis ended the project and the church was sold in 2012 to Oasis Church, who planned to use the organ on high holy days. -Database Manager
