Notes

2006-01-06 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ replaced an existing Kimball at the former 1893 edifice, but some of the Kimball pipework was incorporated. -Database Manager

2006-04-28 - Updated through online information from William Barger. -- Some stops from the church's former Kimbal organ were retained. I am reasonably certain that the 1956 date is correct for when this organ was built. This information is from Louis Culver who has lived for over 60 years in Anniston and is a highly respected local organist who knows much of the history of the area organs. -Database Manager

2007-05-24 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager

2016-01-30 - Updated through online information from Christopher Henley. <br>The organ was restored to the original specifications by Robert Coulter Organbuilders LLC in 2014. A digital 32' Untersatz was added. -Database Manager
