2007-09-13 - Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The original First Church of Christ, Scientist building (1926) was sold to St. George Orthodox Church in 1975. I examined the console before the organ was removed; this information is from that visit. -Database Manager

2012-02-24 - Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Estey installed Opus 2540 in 1926 and revised it in 1954, the revised specification was very close to what I saw on a console labeled Hillgreen and Lane in 1975. Hillgreen and Lane may have further revised the Estey organ, or this may have been a replacement console with the String division removed. -Database Manager
