Notes

2007-01-01 - Identified through information from Nicholas Fennig -- Alterations by Möller in 1971; replacement console. -Database Manager

2007-09-24 - Information from Steve Bartley indicates this organ replaced a "Roosevelt/Stein organ two-manual organ from late 1800s" that was sold to Catonsville Presbyterian in 1923. -Database Manager

2007-09-24 - Updated through on-line information from steve bartley. -- Present Casavant is used, but in poor condition. 1970s Möller work was minimal and did not include repair or restoration of existing instrument. Lewis & Hitchcock files indicate they installed an antiphonal division in the late 1920s. Pipes, chest, etc. still in place but not working. Previous Roosevelt/Stein organ two-manual organ from late 1800s was sold in 1923 to Catonsville Presbyterian for their new (present) building. Catonsville Presbyterian has photo showing organ in place. This was replaced by a Möller some time later. -Database Manager

2017-02-02 - Combined with or replaced by a 3-manual Rodgers 2016. -Database Manager

2022-05-10 - Moller's contract M-4874 (1971) was only for a new console; no other work specified. -Jeff Scofield
