Notes

2008-04-29 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. Enclosed Great. According to <i>The American Organist</i>, January 1951, page 21, the organ was dedicated on November 27, 1949. -Database Manager

2009-05-26 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2023-03-09 - The congregation sold the old building to the University of Delaware, where it's used as a study center for students; the church moved into a new A-frame sanctuary ca.1966 and the organ probebly went along. A recent Facebook photo shows a good-sized 3-manual console, to there has obviously been a rebuild and additions. -Jeff Scofield
