Notes

2024-06-08 - Synopsis of social media discussion following church demolition, June 20, 2024: Instrument was a Tellers, date unknown [Ed. - 1961], similar to the former Tellers at the chapel of the Holy Spirit at Duquesne University. Instrument was in use until the church was closed in 2023. Chests and console were in very bad condition, and only two ranks of pipes were salvaged- an oboe and a Celeste, the rest was demolished with the building as seen in photos. -Andrew Scanlon

2025-04-24 - This entry represented the installation of a new organ. Identified from the Tellers opus list. -Jim Stettner
