Notes

A Johnson, Johnson Organ Co., Johnson & Son: a documentary issued in honor the two hundredth anniversary of his birth, 1816-2016 / by Scot L. Huntington, Len Levasseur, Barbara Owen, Stephen L. Pinel, and Martin R. Walsh.* Cranbury, New Jersey: The Princeton Academy of the Arts, Culture, and Society, 2015. -Database Manager

2022-05-20 - The organ is no longer extant. The Presbyterian Church was closed in 1958 and the structure, including the organ, was sold to another congregation. Very sadly, the church and organ were later demolished in the 1960s at least somewhat related to the construction of the Dan Ryan Expressway on the South Side of Chicago. When the church and organ were constructed in 1887, they were located in Englewood, Illinois. Englewood was later incorporated into the city of Chicago and the church became known as the Englewood Presbyterian Church. -Stardust (Dusty) Johnson
