Notes

2021-02-22 - This congregation is now known as Grace United Methodist. They moved to a new site in 1955 and purchased a new Casavant organ. The South Michigan Street building is still standing. When completed in 1915 it cost $43,000. In 1956 it was remodeled for St Andrew's Greek Orthodox Church. In the 1970s it became the Deliverance Cathedral for All Nations. On line photos 2021 of the interior of the Deliverance Cathedral show no organ in the position shown in the 1915 post card. Fate of the organ is unknown. -William Dunklin

2021-02-22 - The organ was in place Jun 16, 1915. Details of the dedication services were published in The South Bend Tribune, June 16, 1915, which include organ works (see docs). -Paul R. Marchesano
