Updated through online information from Don Daley (August 11, 2025): The preceding note that pipes and materials were "retained from the church's previous 1907 HIllgreen-Lane organ" is in error. This church's previous organ was a 1947 Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling, which was entirely new, and the building itself only dates to the 1940s.
