Notes
2023-10-15 - This entry is believed to represents the rebuilding of the existing 1927 Kilgen based on notes in an online .pdf document on the parish website, which states, "In 1983 the organ was updated and refurbished." -Jim Stettner
2024-05-20 - Updated through online information from Nicholas Koch (05-18-2024): The original 1927 organ was not rebuilt by Peebles. There was not enough historic material to even consider it a rebuild. Only the 16’ Subbass was reused in its original form - truly original as the stoppers were not even repacked. Any other Kilgen pipework (0.5 ranks) was altered beyond what Kilgen would have liked. The church signed a contract in February 2024 with Koch & Co. to install a new organ. As of April 14th the entire organ was dismantled. Some pipework was taken into the inventory of Koch & Co. -Jim Stettner
