Notes

2011-12-29 - The organ was originally built by M. P. Möller in 1931 as their Opus 5943. It was expanded in 1955 by the Kilgen Organ Company. The work at this time was to rebuild the instrument with a Rodgers console, add digital stops, refurbish the pipes, and releather the windchests. -Database Manager
