Notes

2010-11-29 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma -- The organ was originally built and installed in 1965 as Wicks Opus 4546. During this rebuild by Allen, the Westfield Organ Company of Grand Rapids gave the instrument a new console and many digital voices. The original Wicks pipes were retained but revoiced by Lauck Pipe Organ Company. The rebuilt organ was dedicated on April 26, 1998, with Tom Hazleton at the console. -Database Manager
