Paul R. Marchesano on May 6th, 2024:

"Originally, this [Kimball] organ at the College of the Pacific was installed by my brother Leo, in 1912, while in the employ of the Eilers Music Company, who were then the agents for the Kimball Company. It was at first a tubular pneumatic action organ, and was later electrified by Thomas Whalley of Berkeley. We removed this organ from the old College of the Pacific building and erected it in the new St. Ignatius Church, where it is giving excellent service to this day."
"Memoirs of a San Francisco Organ Builder", Louis J. Schoenstien, p 47

Database Manager on April 26th, 2018:

In 1926, the organ was relocated to St. Ignatius Catholic Church, San Francisco, where it was electrified.
