2004-10-30 - Building was originally Presbyterian (probably Lee Memorial Presbyterian with a 1937 Kilgen). Building purchased by St. James in 1964. Altered. Both specifications given. -Database Manager
2022-04-05 - In its original state, the Kilgen was typical of many small , unified organs of the I92os and '30s. During the tenure of Dr. John Mueller, changes were made: replacement of the Vox Humana with a 2-foot Vlakfluit; the Great Diapason with a Mixtuur; the Clarabella with a Gedeckt; and the Dulciana with a 4-foot Octaaf. -- *2001 OHS Handbook* -Paul R.
