Notes

2010-07-02 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by George Kilgen and Son in 1902 for St. John's Evangelical and Reformed Church (later known as St. John's United Church of Christ) in Muskegon. Gustav F. Treu moved the organ to a new location in that sanctuary in 1926. St. John's merged with another church in 1970, and St. Luke's Baptist Church moved into the building. In 1977, James Lauck did work on the organ, including a new facade and relocating it to St. Gregory's Episcopal Church. In 1980, Roger E. Davis did rebuilding, tonal changes, and voicing on the instrument. -Database Manager
