2011-04-20 - Updated through online information from Joshua McClure. -- Thorne Hall, located on Northwestern University's law campus in Chicago, was demolished for more classroom space in the early 80's; the organ was bought at auction by the church in 1984. Removed by the congregation, insured and stored in an area barn, it was later installed in the church and dedicated in 1988. -Database Manager
