Notes

2011-07-19 - This organ replaced a Hillgreen-Lane organ that was installed when the building was first built in 1938. The Wicks instrument was rebuilt in 2008 by Fowler Organ Company. Work included revoicing and rebuilding of the console. The congregation added the word "North" to their name when North Presbyterian Church closed in 2010, and the members joined the Westminster congregation. -Database Manager
