2017-05-04 - Updated by Stephen Hall, who gave this as the source of the information: Information from photographs and email from (name withheld pending permission).<br> Organ is enclosed in a single chamber inside the tower, open at the top all the way up tower rafters. Some water damage due to roof leak. -Database Manager

2018-07-21 - Updated by Andrew Schaeffer, who has heard or played the organ.<br>\r\nSt. Joseph is located immediately to the west of the former Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building and thus the Kilgen was severely damaged in the bombing. It was renovated several times in the ensuing years, however, it is continually plagued with water problems from a leaking tower. The organ is used regularly, but needs significant attention. -Database Manager
