Notes

2008-03-21 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. The church also owned Möller 2462. Installed in December 1947, according to <i>The American Organist</i>, May 1948, pages 146-147. In 1990, the church acquired Bedient opus 30. -Database Manager

2009-03-22 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- At the time of my 1997 visit, the console was in bad shape and there was a Wicks unit organ installed temporarily on the rear of the nave floor with the choir; it didn't look like the Möller was being used any longer. -Database Manager
