2008-03-12 - Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> Enlargement of Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1042 (1942), previously enlarged and relocated by Casavant in 1960.</i> -Database Manager
2010-06-10 - Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma -- A 4-manual Aeolian-Skinner console was installed at this time, along with revoicing and rebuilding of the instrument. At some point in the 1980's, a Trompette en Chamade was added to the Antiphonal organ and was installed beneath the Gethsemane window (information from the church's 100th anniversary book). The organ was replaced in 1996 by an Austin pipe organ (Opus 2765). -Database Manager
