Paul R. Marchesano on December 28th, 2025:

Known from email communication from John Vogel on Dec 27, 2025:
"My Father was the Rev. Donald C. Vogel, he was the pastor for almost 20 years at Grace United Church of Christ. The church is located at 5954 S. Albany Ave. Chicago Illinois. It has a beautiful pipe organ, two manual. The Church closed around 1992 era and was taken over by some gospel Congregation. Anyhow, the Altar was stripped and the console went with it. I do believe the pipes are still intact in the enclosed chambers. I want to say this was an S. S. Hamill Organ. It has a Harpsichord and full set of Chimes...I know it was rather large upwards of 22 ranks. Well cared for and beautiful sounding."

[Ed.: no record found of a Hamill organ here; since the building is 1966, likely a relocated organ. Seeking further information and details.]
