Notes
2009-12-07 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the moving, enlarging, and reinstallation of the original 1926, 2-13 Geo. Kilgen & Son organ from the former edifice. A new III Plein Jeu and an 8' Gemshorn were added, and the organ was given a new 3-man. console, though the original 2-man. console was also in use for a time. In 1987, the organ was rebuilt and altered by Larson Organ Co., Marquette, KS. Original pipework was removed and 'discarded' during the rebuild, but saved and stored by Bob Helling. In 2003, Coombs Organ Specialists restored the organ to its original specs with the original, saved pipework, and they added a new 3-man. Rodgers console with digital additions. -Database Manager
