Notes

2008-06-28 - 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> Replaced 1908 three manual M.P. Möller, #1083; dedicated in November, 1962; burned in 1970; church not rebuilt; replaced by M.P. Möller, #11112 in parish house in 1976.</i> -Database Manager

2016-09-12 - Updated through online information from Steve Bartley. <br>Washington Post 11/24/1962 announced the dedication concert. Lewis & Hitchcock records shows their opus 157, installed in 1929 (36 ranks). The specification gives an indication that the organ was made from pipes of an older organ, possibly the 1910 Moller, though the building dates from c1894, and had always been a society church, which would indicates it had an organ at the time it opened, or near that time. -Database Manager

2016-10-16 - Destroyed with the church in an arson fire in August 1970. -Database Manager
