Notes
2004-10-30 - 6 gen., 5 div. combinations. -Database Manager
2007-01-07 - Updated through online information from John Gouwens. -- Organ was restored by von Beckerath ca. 1996 (22 or so years after installation). Specification unchanged, but wire trackers replaced by wood traces, voicing cleaned up, less "athletic" technique required to play it than before, but still heavy. Swell pedal is mechanical and stiff to operate. Ruckpositive behind player with suspended tracker action on gallery rail. The "Tutti" piston actually moves knobs (not reversible). -Database Manager
2021-08-09 - The church was formed by a merger of First United Methodist and Wayne Street United Methodist on June 23, 1968, initially using the existing Wayne Street sanctuary; the present sanctuary was consecrated on February 11, 1973; -Jeff Scofield
