2011-08-06 - Updated through online information from Will Dunklin. -- This organ was ordered and built for this church, but never installed at Central Methodist, Knoxville. The church was unable to pay for the instrument. It remained in storage at the Skinner factory until 1941 when it was sold to Temple Mishkan Israel. During the 1930's, Central Methodist obtained the II/6 Wurlitzer from the Knoxville Riviera Theatre. The Wurlitzer remained until the installation of Moller Opus 9098 in 1958.
