Notes

2015-08-07 - This work involved expanding the organ, installing new chests, and installing a refurbished console (originally from Third Christian Reformed Church in Muskegon, Michigan -- Möller's Opus 5154). At one point the pipe facade was painted over with wall paint, but the pipes were returned to gold by Fowler Organ Company after a fire at the church. North Presbyterian Church closed its doors in May 2010 and merged with Westminster Presbyterian Church. -Database Manager

2018-05-01 - Updated by Shawn P. Keith, the builder. Broken up for parts in March 2018. -Database Manager
