Notes

2007-07-28 - Identified through online information from Don Daley. -- The organ was built by Holtkamp around 1947, However, it was not built for this church, and this church is the only church to ever occupy the edifice in which they meet. Rebuilt by Hillgreen-Lane in 1968. -Database Manager

2007-07-28 - Updated through online information from Don Daley. -- Rebuilt in 1968 by Hillgreen-Lane as their opus 1287 -Database Manager

2008-02-21 - Updated through online information from Don Daley. -- This organ was in fact built for the church by Holtkamp, but was significantly altered in the 1968 Hillgreen-Lane rebuild, which fits in with a general renovation of the building. -Database Manager
