Notes

2008-07-17 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2011-08-04 - Updated through online information from Ronald Crowl. -- The organ was installed in the gallery of the church behind the facade of the original organ, a late 1800s August Prante. -Database Manager

2012-10-26 - Updated through online information from Stephan Wright. -- The organ was moved to Most Blessed Sacrament when St John's Church (Loisville) was closed. I do not know the date of the move and the church does not have a record of it. The organ went largely unused until approximately 8 years ago. It is used for every service now. The organ is scheduled in November, 2012 to have the "Viole de Gambe" stop in the swell tuned sharp so as to add a "Celeste" to the available sounds. The original pipes will not be removed (only re-tuned) and the stop tab will not be changed to reflect the new tuning. -Database Manager

2014-11-22 - Updated through online information from Ronald Crowl. -- St. John's Catholic Church, the original home of this organ, was built in the 1850s. It was closed and deconsecrated in 1986 because of an aging, dwindling congregation by the pastor of neighboring St. Martin of Tours Catholic Church, who served as its administrator. The building still stands, and is now used as "St. John's Center For Homeless Men" which began operations the same year that the church was closed. -Database Manager
