Notes

2014-02-21 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Justin Little, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This organ was originally installed in 1942 according to the Milnar Organ Company. In 1999, Milnar added more levels of memory. I wasn't able to look in the chambers, so I don't know how many ranks make up this organ. -Database Manager

2014-02-22 - From Jeff Scofield: <br>The origin of this organ has come into question before. Information I received when questioning a few sources was that it is EMS Op. 555, a 3/15 that was originally installed in the Akron Theatre in Akron, OH, ca. 1926. It was evidently moved in 1942 to Brownsville. -Database Manager
