2010-10-04 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by Wicks in 1924. Due to rapid growth, Calvary expanded their building in 1928 and had the organ enlarged and a new console installed. The instrument was again rebuilt in the 1960's by Bernard Bolt and then made solid state in in the late 1990's by Bill Swem with parts from Wicks. -Database Manager
