Notes

2010-12-24 - Identified through online information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally built by the Kilgen Organ Company in 1948 as their Opus 7277. It was expanded and renovated to solid state at this time in concurrence with extensive renovations to the sanctuary. The chancel and organ were moved to the opposite end of the room, and a balcony was constructed in the former chancel space. -Database Manager
