This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The Moller factory files have the Ernest White installation listed as Op. 8400; it was then apparently rebuilt with tonal changes and moved to Peoria as Op. 8516; to confuse matters even more, the number 8400 was also assigned to a 3-stop Artiste that was installed in 1952 at Pattillo Memorial Methodist Church, Decatur, Georgia; after a bit of wandering around, this 8400 is now installed in slightly altered form at Christ Episcopal Church, Albertville, Alabama.

Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -- Originally built as a two-manual organ for the 1952 AGO Convention in San Francisco. Enlarged to a three-manual 39-rank organ and installed in the Studio of Ernest White at St. Mary the Virgin Episcopal Church. Rebuilt again by Möller in 1956 and relocated to the Church of St. Paul in Chicago.
