Database Manager on May 7th, 2017:
Rebuild, tonal changes and new console by Moller in 1958 as Op. R-601; replaced by Allen 1972, which was replaced by a 3/15 Wicks hybrid in 2002.

Database Manager on May 2nd, 2012:
Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- This was a rebuild of a 1930 4/63 Welte-Trippe; the Möller was replaced in 1971 by a 3-manual Allen so that the chamber space could be used for the church's radio ministry; the Allen was replaced in 2003 by a 3/15 Wicks with much digital.
