A correction to Adam Chlebek's note. This is considered by Quimby to be a new organ, not a rebuild of the Aeolian-Skinner. 30% of the Aeolian-Skinner pipework was retained, but it is still a new organ.
Database Manager on July 26th, 2016:
Updated through online information from S. Robertson.
Database Manager on June 12th, 2016:
This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by Adam Chlebek, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
The largest pipe organ in Chicago, and the Midwest.
