Notes

2009-06-27 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma -- The organ was moved to Grace's new building (1815 Hall Street SE, Grand Rapids, 49506) in 1953. It was moved again to Zion Reformed Church in Grandville, Michigan, in 1981, when Grace purchased a Noack organ. The organ was the one used when President Gerald and Betty Ford were married in Grace Church in 1948. -Database Manager

2016-05-21 - Shutters in the rear of the Choir chamber could be opened to admit tone into the Parish House for processionals. -Database Manager
