2006-01-08 - 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: Rebuild of E. M. Skinner Opus 393 (1924). -Database Manager
2010-05-19 - Updated through online information from Chad Boorsma -- The congregation became independent in the mid-1960s and changed its name to just Fountain Street Church. -Database Manager
2011-04-03 - The cost of this work was $35,000. Casavant retained the Skinner console, added one blower, removed stops (including the 32' Wood Bombarde), added stops, and created new Great and Gallery divisions. The design was drawn up by Edwin D. Northrup and Beverly Howerton in consultation with Lawrence Phelps. Lowering of the wind-pressure necessitated revoicing of all the old pipework that was reused. -Database Manager
