The 1,020-seat chapel was completed in 1958 and the organ installed in 1963, also thru funds from the donor family.

Updated through online information from David Dowty. -- I played this instrument as an organ major 1964-1968; last saw it in 2005. Austin College is currently (2013) raising funds for needed repairs to the organ.
