Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: Burned 2004 -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Donated by A. F. Barrett. The church and organ were destroyed by fire about 17 Jan 2004. (Information from the Cincinnati Enquirer, Jan. 17, 2004.) -Database Manager

2017-05-04 - Updated by Don Hurd, who has heard or played the organ.<br> This was a lovely organ. I played a recital for an anniversary of the church a year before the church burned – accidental fire caused by workers on the roof. The church was rebuilt using many features of the exterior stonework and some windows. The organ was gone. A set of chimes was added after the recital. The organ was almost rebuilt by funds provided by a parishioner who wanted to make certain that the organ would be around "forever," in memory of his deceased wife. (He also liked chimes!) Dana Hull visited the church, with me, to talk them out of the "upgrades!" -Database Manager
