Notes

2010-07-29 - Identified through online information from T. Bradford Willis, DDS. -- This M. P. Moller organ is listed as being at the Provident Heights Baptist Church of Waco in Möller publications. It was either relocated at an undetermined time, or the name of the church was changed. The organ bears a plate stating M. P. Moller, opus 2520, (1918) and the organist, who was practicing on the church's Casavant organ, was not sure that this Moller was in playable condition. -Database Manager

2014-01-02 - Updated through online information from Robert Cooper. -- The organ is in its original location. Calvary's predecessor church was Provident Heights Baptist; Brook Avenue Baptist Church merged with Provident Heights in 1928, and the merged church was named Calvary, meeting at the Provident Heights site. The chapel at Calvary is the original sanctuary; the present sanctuary was built in 1954. (from the church website, http://calvarybaptistwaco.com -Database Manager
