Updated through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn:
Extant; 32' electronic extensions added in 1992.

Database Manager on December 5th, 2005:

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Möller was also being considered for a new instrument. Skinner had originally proposed a four-manual instrument. The church had a budget of $27,000.00, so to meet the restriction, Skinner omitted the Solo division, the Great 2' Fifteenth, and the Swell 4' Clarion.
