Notes

2006-05-08 - 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: <br><i> E. M. Skinner Opus 717, relocated from the Residence of F. M. Crosby.</i> -Database Manager

2009-02-08 - Updated through online information from Richard C Greene. -Database Manager

2021-05-18 - Following a fire in the right chamber (1950's?), Moller replaced chests and pipes on the right side only. Some of these pipes as well as original Skinner pipes were retained in the Dobson organ. The Rohrflute chest and a small reservoir became a voicing machine for Grandall & Engen LLC Organbuilders after the organ was removed. -David Engen
