Notes

2010-06-18 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- This Aeolian-Skinner organ (Opus 1085) was originally built for East Lawn Reformed Church in 1945. East Lawn merged with Forest Home and Faith Reformed Churches in 1976, and the united congregation (Hope Reformed Church) built a different sanctuary in 1979, which became the new home for the organ. This organ appears to have had no alterations over the years and is in excellent condition. -Database Manager
