This entry represents the rebuilding of an existing organ. Identified through online information from Andrew Henderson (April 19, 2025): From *The Democrat & Chronicle* (March 24, 1930): "Before the sermon, Rev. Dr. William C. Compton, rector of Church of the Ascension, express thanks on behalf of his parish, to the vestry of St. Paul's, for the organ in the new church. Miss Margaret Cup, organist, pressed [sic] a program before the service. The new organ was dedicated by Dr. Compton." (June 7, 1932): "This instrument was presented to the younger church by St. Paul's when the new edifice was erected. The organ was rebuilt and modified by C. M. Topliff of this city, and now is excellently adapted to church music."
