Notes

2011-04-02 - Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was originally installed by Kilgen in the congregation's previous facility at 1053 First Street NW, also in Grand Rapids, but the building was torn down to make way for freeway construction in 1962. Three ranks of pipes (a Great Principal chorus) were added to the instrument ca. 1995. -Database Manager
