Notes
2011-08-15 - Identified through online information from Steven E. Lawson. -Database Manager
2011-08-16 - Updated through online information from Steven E. Lawson. -- The organ contains select pipework from Wicks organ (1911, Op. 38) from earlier chapel, and from Austin organ (1902, Op. 65) for the Bush Temple of Music, Chicago. Much of the remainder of the organ was made onsite by the Wiener family and members of the Divine Word community. A portion of the organ was playable for the chapel dedication in 1923, but the instrument was not completed until about 1930. There are two consoles: a 4-manual in the rear gallery, and a 2-manual in the triforium at the front of the chapel. -Database Manager
