Notes

2011-04-28 - The organ was originally installed by M. P. Möller in 1952 in the congregation's former location, 410 W. Walnut Street, also in Kalamazoo. The congregation relocated to this location in 1975, and C. V. Barden Company installed the organ and expanded it. Approximately ten years ago, the instrument needed to be shut down for extensive renovations, but the organ is in excellent condition now. -Database Manager
