Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Echo division from the 1920 Austin, which had previously been installed with the Wicks at the former edifice, was not retained in the relocated installation. However, the Vox Humana was installed in the Swell. Two other registers were also retained. (Documented July, 1987)
Database Manager on November 15th, 2006:
Relocated from its original home in the church's former location in downtown Birmingham. Some modifications to the console at that time.
