Notes

2023-09-02 - Unknown organ builder. According to an old church history, Andrew Carnegie gave the money for the new organ. He told the church that the organ would be built as large as they wanted it to be. The organ was too big for the building so they had to build an addition to the rear of the building to house the new organ. On December 1917, it was contracted to be removed to the new building at 1525 Shorb Ave. NW. Incorporated into Hillgreen-Lane & Co. Op. 512, 1917. -Robert J Alcock
