2015-06-14 - Updated through online information from Eugene Walter. -- According to ad #8737 placed on the Church Organ Trader website on June 3, 2015 the building is slated for demolition and the organ is being parted out. The ad states that much of the organ is unsalvageable except for 25 to 35 of the original 48 ranks of pipes and the 4-manual console. The wording in the ad also indicates that the console was apparently upgraded with Peterson drawknobs and coupler controls and multiplex switching in the mid 1990's. -Database Manager
