Notes

2016-08-28 - Chapel One was damaged beyond repair by Hurricane Katrina on August 29, 2005, and was eventually demolished; since the organ was installed in front of the large rear window, it probably also suffered catastrophic damage; the base suffered nearly $1 billion in damage from the hurricane. -Database Manager
