Notes

2008-10-17 - Identified by Jim Stark. Replaced existing Wirsching organ. -Database Manager

2019-02-17 - The entire organ was under expression. The display facade pipes were to have a gilt dull finish. The congregation relocated to 2950 Lakeview Ave, also in St. Joseph, in 1969, where a new Casavant pipe organ was installed. The congregation's former property became home to the new City Hall. -Database Manager
