Notes

2009-08-16 - Identified through research conducted by Sand Lawn, courtesy of David Scribner. -Database Manager

2021-12-01 - The parish online history 'A History of the Unitarian Church of Evanston' states, *"The congregation purchased a small Holtkamp practice organ for the sanctuary in 1966, which graced the sanctuary until the capital renovations of 1998."* From an extant photo, the organ appears to be a 'Martini' Holtkamp with the 16' Quintadena rather than Subbass [Ed.]. -Jim Stettner
