Notes

2009-03-16 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- This was a rebuild and enlargement of Möller Op. 8563 (1954); the organ was damaged by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and renovated by an unknown builder. -Database Manager

2011-09-15 - Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The post Hurricane Hugo work was done by A.E. Schlueter Pipe Organ Co. of Lithonia, GA. They completed another major renovation in 2011, repairing the swell shade motors and sealing several leaks, wind pressure was raised overall with remedial tonal work and tonal finishing. -Database Manager
