DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Kristina Powers. -- Read in parish newsletter back in November 2002 that the original 41-rank Austin was originally installed at St. Patrick's Parish in Chicago. "How it got to us (the parish) is a mystery." The newsletter article continued that it arrived to Ss. Peter and Paul [Naperville, Illinois] 80% complete with missing pipes and parts. (Database Manager. 2012-01-09).
[J.S., editor: The organ was never 41-ranks. It doesn't even have 41 speaking stops].
