Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Clapp Recital Hall was severely damaged in 2008 flooding. The organ itself escaped damaged, but has not been in-use since. The University accepted bids for the demolition of the building. The low-bid firm has been trying to sell the organ for $60,000.00, but with no success. St. Andrew Presbyterian Church in Coralville, Iowa, is on record as being interested and hoping the contractor will donate the organ if not sold.
