Database Manager on May 15, 2007:

Identified through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- The organ began life as a residence organ built by owner Dr. George Cannon on Signal Mountain, using parts of unknown origin. When he died, his widow donated it to Wayside and the organ was extensively rebuilt, enlarged and reinstalled by Barger & Nix.
