Notes

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

2010-03-16 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2012-03-29 - Updated through online information from Ron Yeater. -- This organ, although it has had considerable tonal updating, still utilizes the original F&V windchests! Moller rebuilt the organ when the congregation moved from its former Washington Ave. location. The Farrand & Votey was the first electro-pneumatic organ in St. Louis. -Database Manager

2019-06-07 - This was a rebuilt and enlargement of the 1893 Farrand & Votey; the organ was moved to the Chapel at the current location in 1949 and then enlarged and moved into the new church in 1951; a new Moller console was added in 1964. -Database Manager
