Notes

2023-04-05 - A unit organ of typical 60s baroque tonal design, the organ was sold or given to Christ Episcopal downtown, ca. 2008 when Resurrection closed. The organ was reconfigured to fit in a former closet in the chapel by Richard Hamar where it was revoiced by S.L. Huntington. Christ Church was taken over by the diocese ca. 2020 when it had become financially insolvent, and was formerly closed in 2022. It too had replaced its important early Hook organ with an imitation in the 1970s, and when that device failed in the 2000 teens, it was replaced with another leased imitation subsequently repossessed after the church closing. The Geddes exists intact in the currently unused building with its future fate uncertain. -Scot Huntington
