DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
This entry represents the installation of a used, relocated organ.
The organ was originally built by W. W. Kimball Co. of Chicago for the Congregational Church in Woodstock, Illinois. The Church later became known as the Congregational Universalist Church. At some undocumented time, the Pedal division was electrified by an unknown person or firm.
In 1985, after an evaluation report by Michael and Susan Friesen for the church, the organ was rebuilt by the Prairie Organ Co. (later, Bradford Organ Co.) of Evanston, Illinois. This included replacing the original Swell 8' Aeoline with a new 2' Piccolo. The Aeoline pipes were cleaned and packed in the organ.
The church was later sold and became the Blue Lotus Buddhist Temple. That organization sold the Kimball organ to The Starline Factory in Harvard, Illinois. Part of the factory grounds and buildings was developed as a wedding event venue, and the organ was reinstalled in their Hunt Chapel.
