Notes

2010-05-11 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2012-03-13 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was destroyed on December 29, 2011 when the roof of the 1904 stone building was set on fire by a workman's welding torch repairing an HVAC unit. Also destroyed were the Christian Education building and the Kansas City Foundation building next door with a loss of much historical material (from a private letter dated March 3, 2012 sent to Michael Way of Seattle by Tom Taylor of Westwood, Kansas). -Database Manager
