DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Casavant rebuilt and relocated the organ to the church's new sanctuary on the same property. The work included the addition of Positiv and Antiphonal divisions. The original contract for this work was signed in July of 1959 with the Antiphonal Division to be prepared for only. A second agreement was signed in October of the same year for the Antiphonal Division to be completed as part of the project. It was a gift from Mr. and Mrs. William B. Eerdmans Sr. The organ was rebuilt again by Burger and Shafer in 1977. Updated through on-line information from Chad Boorsma.
