2004-10-30 - Building to be razed in 1998. Organ for sale. -Database Manager

2009-10-26 - Updated through information posted to OHS Members List by Scot Huntington: -- "Last week, I received a note from Rick Parsons that in fact, the pipes were removed (sold?) many years ago, and all that remains is largely vandalized, including badly water-damaged chests and mechanism. For all intents and purposes, any portion of the organ worth saving is already gone." -Database Manager

2012-04-17 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2019-08-26 - The church was demolished by the city in 2011. -Database Manager
