Notes

2004-10-30 - From unknown location. Installed 1921. [This location appears on Kilgen lists. Opus 3073 is right for 1921, so perhaps Kilgen moved one of their own instruments or that of another builder here at that date.] Altered Harvey & Zimmer 1979, 2-7. Stoplist in Richmond. -Database Manager

2019-07-30 - From the parish website (http://www.churchofthevisitation.org/history.shtm): "Donated by Mrs. Theresia Bockholt, the large pipe organ was built in St. Louis, Missouri, in 1914 by Kilgen and Son, Inc. The choir loft was enlarged and the organ was installed in March of 1921. It was refurbished in 1979 and is played each Sunday as well as on special occasions." The church and organ were completely destroyed by fire on July 29, 2019. -Database Manager
