Around 1940, a Diapason rank was added to the organ and it was relocated to Brainerd Methodist Church in Chattanooga. It served there until the new 1000-seat sanctuary was completed in 1955. Op. 929 was sold in 1955 to the Residence of Merrill Smith in Athens, Tennessee, where it remained until it was relocated to this private residence in Cleveland, Tennessee, ca. 2010. -Jim Stettner
