Database Manager on June 15th, 2012:

Identified through information from the Chicago OHS Chapter. -- Relocation without change of a previously altered organ originally built in 1872. The organ was moved from the Oriental Lodge, F.A.M. [Masons - its original home] to Mayfair Methodist Church in Chicago by Coburn ca. 1923 and altered there. When the church closed in 1999, Bradford Organ Co. removed it to storage; the organ was installed here in 2004 and first used March 20, 2005.
