2007-12-15 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2012-01-14 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The Möller opus list shows Op. 6112 went to the First Evangelical United Brethren Church; the write-up in the February 1933 issue of THE AMERICAN ORGANIST says it went to First Congregational Church; the factory specifications say the organ was for First Evangelical Congregational Church. -Database Manager

2016-04-15 - Great-Choir releathered in 1956 as Moller Op. R-560; at the same time the Clarinet and French Horn were revoiced and a 73-note Trompette was added on the present Tuba action. -Database Manager
