Aaron Jackson on December 21st, 2025:

In all likelihood [the disposition listed above] also represents the instrument as built by Johnson (Opus 386, 1872) - that is, we (Bradford Organ Company) knew of no changes to the organ's pipework, and the Stopt Diapason article I've cited also indicates no changes.

Database Manager on March 10th, 2014:

In 1923, moved to Mayfair Methodist Church in Chicago by Coburn. When that church closed in 1999, organ moved by Bradford Organ Co. to storage; later St. Josaphat Catholic Church, Chicago.
