Notes

2005-12-23 - Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> Organ is not used; extant, unaltered, unplayable; for sale.</i> -Database Manager

2021-11-20 - The large Hyde Park building was sold in the 1960's to St. Stephen Church of God; by 1997 the building was empty and abandoned. It was still standing ca.2008, but the interior was visibly crumbling. -Jeff Scofield

2022-06-06 - Pipework has been removed, but windchests, etc. remain in chamber. Console has been gutted, the shell and pedalboard remaining. -Jim Lewis
