Database Manager on August 18, 2009:

Identified through on-line information from Chad Boorsma. -- The organ was first installed at the congregation's previous location, 3515 Perry Street, in 1954. The church dedicated their new facility in September of 1970. It does not appear that the organ underwent any changes during the move. The Great division is located in the left chamber, and the Swell division is located in the right chamber.
