The Hinners/Layton organ was removed in 2002 when a Rodgers "Trillium Masterpiece 968" digital of 3 manuals and pedal was installed by a Colorado Rodgers dealer. What became of the pipe organ is unknown but is believed to have been destroyed to make way for the electronic organ installation with no surviving components.
