(In 1948 the Austin organ was moved to the auditorium of the Joseph Smith Building at Brigham Young 
University in Provo, Utah.  The Celestial, String, and enclosed Great divisions were removed, and a 
few stops were retained for use in the Aeolian-Skinner in the Tabernacle.  The instrument was sold 
for parts when the building was demolished ca. 1990.)
