Based on materials found around the organ, the installer may have been Freeport Organ Company out of Freeport, Illinois. According to a Facebook post, the organ came from a Chicago Church. The Austin console (opus 650) is likely not original to this organ. Some Walker digital voices with speakers located in the swell chamber. Pipework, console, and some casework was removed in 2022 for cleaning and storage due to a fire caused by a lightning strike, to be reinstalled January 2025 Information received online from Daniel Boin on 2025-01-17
