Notes

2006-01-19 - 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> Replaced 1914 3/26 Johnston; moved to new building ca. 1965; replaced in 1996 by electronic and parted out.</i> -Database Manager

2008-10-04 - Updated through online information from Robert Knight. -- I am an organ builder. We are rebuilding the console from this organ for a client. The console was in original condition (although quite worn and suffering the effects of 40 years of storage) when it arrived here. -Database Manager
