Notes
2006-03-07 - Originally Estey Opus 300, 1906. -Database Manager
2020-05-17 - The organ is an Estey that was rebuilt by Elroy E. Hewitt in 1958. First Baptist Church no longer exists, and the church is now home to Epsilon Spires and now acts as a performing arts center. The congregation sold the builiding but was renting it out until December of 2019. The organ is still in decent shape though it needs some serious repair and tuning. The organ is used for performances. -Gavin Klein
2023-04-12 - As of April 2023 the organ is playable and used regularly for silent films, etc.
The Pedal division is indeed four 16' ranks, with no borrows from the manual. -Nathan Bryson
