Notes

2023-01-15 - For one reason or another, the West Palm Beach church was unable to accept the Pilcher; instead, Pilcher offered the organ to Church Street Methodist Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, at a deeply discounted priced; it remained there until removal in preparation for an Aeolian-Skinner that was installed in 1966. -Jeff Scofield
