Notes

2009-09-09 - An original installation of a new pipe organ, identified by Richard Greene with information from Charles Hendrickson -- "At Congregational, La Crosse in 1966 we added two divisions of 22 ranks, but kept and revised the 3 manual Wicks console and existing Wicks 18 ranks of chests & pipes. In 1977 we built and installed a new 4-manual console. In 1995 we rearranged the organ to suit the improved and enlarged balcony."
