2006-11-24 - 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> Rebuild of Aeolian-Skinner Opus 922 (1934), relocated from Heinz Memorial Chapel, University of Pittsburgh.</i> -Database Manager

2013-02-18 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The church is a member of the Christian & Military Alliance denomination; the contract was for the removal of Skinner Op. 922 from Heinz Memorial Chapel at the University of Pittsburgh, rebuilding with new console, and relocating the organ to the Allegheny Center church; the organ was offered for sale in 2008. -Database Manager
2014-04-16 - Updated through online information from John Engle. -- I was the church organist at the Allegheny Center Christian & Missionary Alliance Church from 1991 - 2002. The church did not receive all of the pipes from the original Heinz Chapel installation. Parkwood United Presbyterian Church in Allison Park also received some pipes. The C&MA Church removed their pipe organ because they had moved away from traditional church music toward contemporary Christian/Soul music. They needed the space taken by the pipes for electronic equipment. <br>I heard that the organ may have been sold or donated to a church in New Orleans that had lost their organ due to Hurricane Katrina. Up until 2002 the organ although somewhat unbalanced between the various divisions, played very well. The reeds were just tremendously beautiful. -Database Manager
