Notes

2017-10-23 - Originally built in 1971 for Clapp Recital Hall, University of Iowa, Iowa City. Clapp Recital Hall was severely damaged in 2008 flooding and was condemned; the organ itself escaped damaged. The demolition company was unsuccessful in selling the organ. St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Coralville, Iowa, expressed an interest in the organ and hoped the contractor would donate the organ if not sold. Ultimately, the organ was donated to St. Andrew's.<br> Dobson Pipe Organ Builders removed the organ and stored in their workshop. The organ will be reinstalled in the sanctuary of St. Andrew Presbyterian Church upon completion of their new facility in 2015. -Database Manager

2017-10-23 - Dobson began installing the organ in October 2017. -Database Manager

2017-11-17 - Updated by Matthew Penning, who has heard or played the organ. -Database Manager
