Notes

2014-05-24 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, using information from this web site: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/now-on-craiglist-a-pipe-organ-just-20000/article9214811/. -- At some later date the building was sold to a Seventh-day Adventist congregation. Tis congregation out-grew the building and moved into a bigger space, but with lower ceilings. Windmill Development Group of Toronto has been trying to find a home for the organ, and Casavant is aware of its availability. It was listed on Toronto Craigslist in 2013. Current status is unknown. -Database Manager

2014-06-06 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- In a May 20, 2014 email from Jesse Speigel of the windmill Development Group in Toronto, I was informed, "Over the course of a week the organ was disassembled by Casavant's Toronto reps and transported just outside of the city to The Cathedral of the Transfiguration in Markham, Ontario. The organ has been reinstalled there and will likely be expanded upon to better match the grand building that now houses it." -Database Manager
