Notes

2015-03-10 - With the building's pending demolition, the organ was relocated to a newly constructed church for married LDS students so that the instrument would continue to be available to the school's organ students. Sometime during the 1990's a new Rodgers console was installed and several digital voices/stops were added. -Database Manager
