Notes

2006-05-10 - 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> Moved to Baptist Church, Berea, Kentucky in 1984.</i> -Database Manager

2024-12-14 - Church of the Covenant merged with Woodward Avenue Presbyterian in 1981, with the congregation relocating to Woodward. The East Grand Boulevard church was put up for sale and sold in 1982 to Trinity Deliverance Church, a small but rapidly growing congregation that used the building until sometime around 2019. -Jeff Scofield
