Notes

2016-05-28 - Replaced an organ that burned with the sanctuary on January 13, 1930; ironically, the 1931 Kimball was destroyed in another sanctuary fire in 1970. -Database Manager

2024-02-09 - Several ranks of undamaged pipes from the fire damaged organ were rescued by the Dickinson Theatre Organ Society for use in their now 3/67 mostly W.W. Kimball organ. This information may be found in a book about the DTOS organ, "The Dickinson Kimball Story" by Bob Dilworth. -Mark Hurley
