Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1998 -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - If Op. is correct, from North Ave. Pres., Atlanta, GA, with new Austin console in 1939. Replace there by Wicks in 1961. [ed.: photo shows original console/keydesk attached] -Database Manager
2006-09-20 - Immaculate Conception Chapel at the Convent Motherhouse is listed for a 1901 Austin, Op. 51, 2-16. The related college moved in 1962, and their chapel, Mater Dei, is listed for a 1963 Steiner organ, Op. 3. Did it use pipework from Op. 50 for North Ave. Pres.? -Database Manager
2015-02-21 - Updated through online information from Don Hurd. -- A magnificent, large chapel! I last played the organ in the 1980's--worked perfectly! Now they use a very small electronic and a grand piano. -Database Manager
2024-10-13 - I visited this chapel on 10/9/24, and this organ has been in an unplayable condition for a while. It is still there, but it is not playable. -Tommy Holtmeier
