Database Manager on September 26, 2014:

Identified through online information from Eugene H. Blackstone.  -- Relocated and much enlarged existing organ, identified by Dr. Eugene Blackstone. 
In 1988 the Great, Swell, Baroque, and Pedal divisions were completed.
In 1995 the Antiphonal and Echo were added.
In 2014 the Solo and second Pedal divisions were completed.
All work was done under the direction of John Hendriksen, with pipework by Tom Anderson, all intended to be a 21st century embodyment of the Aeolian-Skinner concepts, voicing, and tonal finishing. Pedal and reeds pneumatic; upperwork electric.
