Notes

2011-10-04 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- This was a rebuild of the existing organ - probably due to the Halifax Harbor Explosion of December 6, 1917, that destroyed or damaged nearly every building in the city. -Database Manager

2013-01-10 - Updated through online information from garth macphee. -- Brunswick Street United Church was destroyed by fire in June, 1979. -Database Manager
