Notes
2006-01-29 - Identified through online information from Nathan Smith. -Database Manager
2008-05-19 - Updated 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>Installed in 1951; extant; this organ was designed by H. Leroy Baumgartner; Harrison became so frustrated with the project that he gave the project over to A. Thompson-Allen for completion.</i> -Database Manager
2009-05-19 - Updated through online information from Geoff Johnson. -- Organ restored in 2007 by A. Thompson-Allen Company. Vox humana rank (originally prepared for) was added during the restoration. Setter board combination action was disconnected, though left in place for historical purposes, and replaced by a multi-level digital combination action. Other than the Vox Humana and new combination action, the organ is as it was originally installed. Organ has a nine-rank floating Positiv division playable on the Swell, Great, and Choir manuals. -Database Manager
2018-09-17 - Due to declining membership, the church held its last service September 2, 2018, and closed; the building will remain open for a further year to the many organizations who currently meeting in the facility. -Database Manager

A virtual organ sample set was created before the organ was removed. -Geoff Johnson
