Organ was originally built by Kimball for the Studebaker Theater in Chicago in the late 1890's. Kimball moved it to this location in 1904 or 1908. The Kilgen rebuild in 1955 brought the organ to 4 manuals and 67 ranks. The complete rebuild by Schantz in 2010 expanded the organ to 115 ranks (information from George Nelson, the church website, and Schantz Organ Company).
