Updated through online information from David Lewis. -- Prior to demolition of the building in 1910, the organ was removed and rebuilt for the basement Assembly Room of the new church by E.M. Skinner, who installed a new organ in the sanctuary. Skinner added electro-pneumatic pulldown action to the slider chests and an electric Spencer blower. He used the Great mixture pipes in the 2' stops of his new organ (Opus 190) and the Swell Diapason was installed in the Choir division. The Swell Cornopean and 2' were also removed and a Salicional and Voix Celeste installed. The Greata 16' Bourdon, Twelfth, Fifteenth and 8'/4' reeds were also removed. The church encountered financial difficulties during The Great Depression and sold the organ to the First Church of Christ, Scientist at 18th and Jerome in Kansas City, Kansas, where it remained until that congregation sold its building in 1993. The organ was purchased by Quimby Pipe Organs and rebuilt for the Church of St. Johh LeLande (R.C.) in Blue Springs, Missouri, a suburb of Kansas City in 1995. St. John LeLande built a new sanctuary and elected to obtain another pipe organ. Quimby re-purchased the organ and installed it in Holy Redeemer Catholic Church in Kitty Hawk, NC in 2001.
