2013-11-07 - Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Robert Brock, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The original Wicks organ (Opus 622, 1926) was a four-manual instrument with 26 ranks of pipes. A new church building was constructed and Wicks altered and revoiced the organ. The organ was changed to a three-manual instrument using 22 of the original 26 ranks of pipes. This was to accommodate the new organ chamber. Later on the First Evangelical United Brethren Church sold the church to what is now Kimball Avenue Methodist Church. -Database Manager
