Notes

2008-07-03 - 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> Rebuild of Aeolian-Skinner organ, itself incorporated 1950s Kilgen mechanism.</i> -Database Manager

2015-06-27 - Kilgen rebuilt the 1912 Hall organ in 1952; the Kilgen was damaged beyond repair by a 1963 fire; the surviving remnants such as some windchests and pipework were used for Aeolian-Skinner Op. 1451 in 1964; a new Austin console was installed in 1970; rebuilt by Casavant in 1982 as 3/44 Project 81-22, retaining 31 Aeolian-Skinner ranks, the Austin console and 12 Hall pedal pipes -Database Manager
