2013-05-25 - An original installation. Identified by John Speller, using information from this web site: http://www.pipechat.org/Archives/pipechat/2000/june/digest1476.html. -- The instrument had a player mechanism. According to the information from David Scribner, it was relocated to Northwestern Baptist Church, Southfield, Michigan in 1974. -Database Manager

2017-05-07 - Three reed ranks are in Tim Wilson's residence organ (The Brennan Loft) in London, Ohio. They were added to the organ by Muller in 2006. -Database Manager

2017-06-16 - Horace Dodge died in 1916 and the organ was never installed; it was put in storage. Anna Dodge, his widow, married Hugh Dillman. The first Dodge house was demolished and replaced with a second house at the same location known as "Rose Terrace," completed in 1934. Aeolian-Skinner installed the Aeolian organ in the second house. -Database Manager
