2004-10-30 - Some alterations early 1990's by Michael Quimby. Included in Sep. 1995 organ crawl by St. Louis AGO. -Database Manager

2014-07-04 - Updated through online information from John Speller. -- The console was solid-stated in 2009 by Quimby Pipe Organs, Inc., making use of the original Aeolian stop-keys. The rest of the original equipment was carefully stored in the church, and the original remote actions and relays remain in place, though out of use. -Database Manager
