2013-01-25 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Grant Chapman, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- -Database Manager
2013-03-13 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager
2019-02-19 - Updated by Jim Lewis <br> <br>February, 2019: The former Elks Temple is now known as The MacArthur and the large public rooms are used for event and filming rentals. The current owners want the organ out of the building (as of 2/19)and the salvageable pipework has been removed and sold. There is a great amount of damage to the instrument due to workmen stepping on pipework and recent earthquakes. Due to limited access to the chambers, the large pedal stops and wind chests will be reduced in size for removal and disposal. The two consoles (4m & 2m) will probably be retained and put on display. -Database Manager
