2021-04-06 - From a January 23, 2009 article titled Hallelujah and Amen! in the Star Tribune, "The building got a retrofit from its basement footings to the grand chandelier paid for by the Pohlad family's foundation. In between, workers gutted walls, doubled up the studs, *tore out the few remaining organ pipes of cheap metal painted to resemble brass*, and reconfigured the ceiling for an airier look. The sanctuary was painted in warm pear and gold tones. The original carved wooden pews were reinstalled." -Jim Stettner
