2009-10-30 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager
2011-03-07 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The theatre section of the Masonic building was sold to the Loew's chain and reopened as the Temple Theatre in April 1925; as part of Loew's renovation, upper and lower boxes were installed that obscured the original large chamber grillwork; the organ was given to St. Bernard College, Cullman, Alabama, in 1959, where it languished in storage for many years until it was purchased by Norville Hall; he installed parts of it in an old hotel in Mentone, Alabama, and used parts in other organs he worked on; what was left was purchased by the Alabama Chapter of ATOS in the late 1980's; several of the ranks were added to the Wurlitzer in the Alabama Theatre, Birmingham, Alabama; it is reported that one division, probably the Echo Ancillary, was never installed. -Database Manager
