Notes

2007-05-27 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- When the new church was built attached to the original church, the organ was relocated to the new sanctuary. The acoustics of the new sanctuary are incredible. The organ sounds like a significantly larger instrument. It was placed at the front on the right side with the console in front - organist facing across the chancel, nave to their left. -Database Manager

2010-04-22 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- Relocated to the Episcopal Church of the Resurrection of Rainbow City, AL. in 1999 by Gottfried Reck when Ascension got their new Steiner-Reck. -Database Manager
