Notes

2004-10-30 - "Rebuilt 1994 by ? The congregation was first known as the First Trinitarian Church at Tenth and Locust Streets, moved to a wooden chapel at Grand and Delmar in 1879. In 1885, the present stone church building at that location was occupied by the congregation. In 1915 they moved to Wydown Boulevard and University Lane near Washington University. The building on Delmar became the home of the Union Methodist Church." -Database Manager

2010-03-17 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Unusual in that the Austin console was drawknob. Received a new 4-manual Moller console in 1956. -Database Manager
