Updated by William M. Worden, who gave this as the source of the information: Observation from the database.

The photos shown with this organ do not appear to be of this organ. For example, the photo showing the stop tabs on the console gives a stoplist that does not match the much larger stoplist given on the linked page from the college website and the photo taken from the side of the console in a corner with cement block walls does not match the photo of the organ on the college website. Could these photos be of the practice organ built by Holtkamp for the same institution? I admit the dates don't seem to match, since the practice organ is shown to have been moved to a residence in 2010 and the photos are dated 2012.
