Notes

2024-08-11 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from the Kilgen Opus List. The doors closed in the 1970's and the building sat vacant from 1975 to 2014. It was purchased and went through a $10 million dollar renovation, and now serves as a community resource center with offices, clinics, meeting space, etc. The fate of the Kilgen organ is not known. -Jim Stettner
