2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1978 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - From unknown location, after being stored in a Rochester, N.Y., garage for at least several decades. Relocated by the Organ Clearing House. Installed here by McFarland. The work was performed under McFarland's direction by David Storey, Raymond Brunner, Douglass Eyman, Bryan Dyker and Alan Heller. -Database Manager

2011-07-13 - Updated through online information from Paul Marchesano. -- In the prior history of the organ, someone had added notes to the pedal board. In the restoration project, Jim McFarland decided to keep with the tradition, expanding the pedal board and Pedal Bourdon by one or two notes to bring it to a normal compass. -Database Manager

2015-11-28 - The organ was dedicated by the church's consultant, Dr. James Boeringer, on October 28, 1979. -Database Manager
