Notes

2010-06-14 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Replaced in new building by 1936 4/96 Kilgen -Database Manager

2010-07-26 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The organ was installed in the Detroit church, not in Royal Oak. -Database Manager

2013-01-21 - Updated through online information from William M. Worden. -- This church was built as the Chapel of St. Therese, the Little Flower of St. Patrick's Parish, Detroit. There is no connection of any kind with the Shrine of the Little Flower in Royal Oak. St. Patrick's former church was abandoned many years ago, has now been demolished, and this building is now known as St. Patrick's Church. -Database Manager

2023-10-05 - Console and all pipework removed in May, 2023 and placed into storage. The organ's chassis and blower had been significantly water damaged. Timelines and overall circumstances did not permit removal of the blower or actions except the Pedal Bourdon windchest. Building is currently being demolished. -David Hufford
