Notes

2008-07-03 - Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: Extant; unaltered. -Database Manager

2014-06-06 - Updated through online information from H. Tyler Schodt. -- This organ is still in regular use by the First Presbyterian Congregation. The choir and congregation takes pride in their music program, and their pipe organ. The pipe chambers can be easily accessed from the third floor. The acoustics within First Presbyterian are good, complimenting the pipe organ. The organ plays a vital role in the life of this congregation. -Database Manager
