2008-12-21 - Identified through information published in John Ferguson's <i>Walter Holtkamp: American Organ Builder</i> (DMA treatise, Eastman School of Music, 1976). Although neither Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling nor their successor Holtkamp Organ Co. assigned Opus numbers to their instruments, this organ was identified in factory documents as Job number 1662. That number appears here as the Opus number of this instrument. -Database Manager

2016-02-13 - Updated through online information from Ron Yeater. <br>When I retired from Holtkamp in 2009 this organ was in storage in the Cleveland area pending installation in a Lutheran church in Maryland. Due to the "crash" of 2008 the church had postponed construction of their new building. What has happened since I do not know! -Database Manager
2016-04-04 - Updated through online information from David Storey. <br>Organ was purchased from the Lutheran's by an Episcopal Church in Baltimore City. It is currently in storage and for sale again. I will own the storage space. The first organ is under my care. -Database Manager
