Notes
2008-07-04 - 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> Extant; unaltered.</i> -Database Manager
2013-04-14 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Once the largest Southern Baptist Church in the state, the church buildings were sold to Belmont University in 2003, though the congregation still met there; the sanctuary was extensively renovated to become the McAfee Concert Hall; the Milnar Organ Co. removed the organ, renovated it with limited tonal changes ["We took an edge off the mixtures and high pressure trumpet"] and reinstalled it in the finished space. -Database Manager
2023-07-11 - Building renovated in 2012 as the McAfee Concert Hall, Belmont University School of Music -Stephen Eaves
