Notes

2011-04-24 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2015-09-01 - Updated through online information from steve bartley. -- The photos and specification of the 1948 Schantz organ belongs to the a former building owned by the Lutheran Church of the Reformation, located at the NE corner of N Caroline St & E. Lanvale Street. The congregation moved to their present Loch Raven Blvd. site in the 1950s. The building is presently owned by Zion Baptist Church and the Schantz organ is intact and used. As of 2015 the N. Caroline building will undergo a massive reconstruction, where by only the facade and long wall facing Lanvale street will be retained. A new glass mega church will be constructed which will incorporate the two old walls. -Database Manager
