Notes

2011-05-13 - Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Installed in the old Centenary Methodist sanctuary in 1966; the congregation merged with First Methodist in 1967 and moved into a new Harold Wagoner-designed sanctuary as First-Centenary in 1973; Schantz moved the organ to the new sanctuary; Schantz added a new console as Op. 2187 in 1999 and 17 additional ranks in 2003 as Op. A2187. -Database Manager

2011-05-16 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- When the 1966 console was replaced in 1999, it was sold to a United Methodist congregation in Texas. -Database Manager
