Notes

2010-04-26 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The organ was originally installed elsewhere, but Reuter has no information on the organ and no opus number was to be seen. Only three 3/5 Reuters were built ca. 1930; this could be Op. 280, built in 1928 for the Reuter studio in Chicago. -Database Manager
