The building was enlarged with the addition of transepts in 1890, and a 2m organ built at a cost of $5,000 by Wm. Schuelke, No. 90 (1891) was installed by the builder, who provided another organ, No. 91, to the First Baptist Church in Colorado Springs, at the same time. Another church in town, First Congregational, which housed a 3m Hook & Hastings, Op. 1432 (1889), took advantage of Wm. Schuelke's presence, and according to the *Colorado Springs Gazette* of 18 June 1892, he "revoiced" (probably tuned) the Hook & Hastings before departing for Milwaukee after installing his new instruments. -- *1998 OHS Handbook*
