Notes

2010-06-14 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2013-01-21 - Updated through online information from William M. Worden. -- The Convent of the Sacred Heart moved to the suburbs probably more than fifty years ago and this building was sold to the Detroit Public Schools. It was abandoned and then demolished some years ago. I have no information on the disposition of the organ. -Database Manager
