Notes

2007-04-30 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- St. Mark's was a sort of "splinter" parish which broke away from Trinity P.E. after the church suffered a fire inside their building. The organ at St. Mark's was likely a Bergstrom...since the parishioners would have been exposed to the Bergstrom at Trinity. The organ was placed at the front on the left side. The facade was three-sectional with the pipes stencilled and having a fair amount of goldleaf. It was replaced after a short tenure by a new, larger, three-manual Kimball in 1903. Disposition of the tracker is unknown. -Database Manager
