2008-03-20 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2022-10-26 - The congregation moved to a suburban location; not known if the organ went along. -Jeff Scofield

2025-03-24 - The organ was indeed moved to the new church. John Moir of Balcom & Vaughan did the work. The Great is no longer enclosed and has been augmented with a four-rank mixture. Otherwise the stoplist is unchanged. Peterson combination action and switching system. -Joe O'Donnell
