2023-02-01 - Construction was finished in 1931, though work on furnishings continued. Among several gifts for furnishings was $15,000 from Sterling R. Holt for purchase of a new pipe organ by the W.W. Kimball firm of Chicago, Illinois. Apparently five organ builders were considered for the project. John A. Bell of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was employed as organ architect. -- *2007 OHS Atlas* -Paul R. Marchesano
