2009-03-01 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-10-25 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- The conservatory relocated at some point to Hammond, Indiana; it is not known if the organ made the move. -Database Manager

2016-06-12 - Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. <br>According to website of Holy Trinity Lutheran Church of Chicago, they purchased a small Moller from the conservatory which became the Choir organ in their enlarged Moller Opus 3556, installed 1923 [OHS ID=52630]. That is most likely this organ. -Database Manager
