Notes

2004-10-30 - Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <i>Retained altered 1891 Roosevelt, #484 case; rebuilt in 1951-54 by Gus Brummer; replaced by #1435; moved and rebuilt by Midwest Organ Service in 1964 to McLean Baptist, Memphis, Tennessee.</i> -Database Manager

2015-07-08 - "Behind the facade (altered) of the 1891 Roosevelt. Replaced by Aeolian-Skinner 1435 in 1963, which retained 6 ranks. Remainder sold for $4000 and moved to McLean Baptist, Jackson Ave., Memphis, TN. Choir division never installed there - pipework was lying in the chambers. Poor installation. Existed there until at least he mid-1970's." -Database Manager
