Updated by Phil Spressart, who maintains the organ.
This organ, new in 1990, is made up of mostly used pipework on Wicks chests. Troy Scott and Madison Lindsey of Laurel, MS, voiced the organ after its installation.
Database Manager on December 2nd, 2014:
Aeolian 2/13 Op. 1406 was installed in the Chicago home of Gustav Swift, the meat-packing magnate, in 1917; when the home was demolished ca. 1945, the organ was given to and installed in the newly-enlarged gallery of Trinity Episcopal; in 1985, the parish purchased and stored pipes that came from an organ (possibly Moller) in Dixon, Illinois; in the Spring of 1989, lightning struck the church's steeple, resulting in fire and smoke damage to the nave and organ; the Wicks used pipework from the Aeolian and Dixon organs, as well as new pipework for the new organ.
