Paul R. Marchesano on May 21st, 2024:

Updated through online information from Andrew Henderson (May 21, 2024): This instrument was built in 1900 and installed in the Methodist Church in Calgary, AB. It was purchased by the Methodist Church in Cranbrook, BC in 1912 and installed there by Harry Hickenbotham, eventually parted out when replaced by an electronic instrument in 1955. This is based on personal research of contemporary newspaper articles, and specifically "Organs: Pioneers Brought Music With Them" by D. Stuart Kennedy published in "The Calgary Albertan" June 8, 1968.
