Notes

2010-07-02 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma -- The organ was built in 1949 by M. P. Möller as their Opus 7932. It was originally in Unity's previous sanctuary, but Bill Swem moved it to the congregation's new facility. The organ appears unaltered from how it was originally built. The organ is in a room with good acoustics. -Database Manager
