Note: Not playable. (in this location)
2011-06-22 - Identified through online information from Ronald Crowl. -- The organ is in what was the original First Methodist Church, who relocated to the Western Illinois University area and built a new complex, later called "Wesley United Methodist Church." The old church was sold to Calvary Baptist Church, and later to the First Baptist Church. The Kimball was used sporadically by the Calvary Baptist congregation. The current occupants are building a new structure in a different area of town; the fate of the building and the organ are uncertain. The organ is no longer playable, the original tubular-pneumatic console having been removed. -Database Manager
