Notes

2009-06-17 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma -- Organ was built for the congregation's previous facility at 1009 Hermitage Street SE, also in Grand Rapids. It was moved to the congregation's current building in 1968 by an unknown builder. The two pipe chambers are located side-by-side at the back of the balcony. The Great and Pedal divisions are located in the left chamber, and the Swell division is located in the right chamber. Both are under separate expression. -Database Manager
