Notes

Database Manager on June 07, 2019:

This was a rebuilt and enlargement of the 1893 Farrand & Votey; the organ was moved to the Chapel at the current location in 1949 and then enlarged and moved into the new church in 1951; a new Moller console was added in 1964.

Database Manager on March 29, 2012:

Updated through online information from Ron Yeater.  -- This organ, although it has had considerable tonal updating, still utilizes the original F&V windchests!     Moller rebuilt the organ when the congregation moved from its former Washington Ave. location.    The Farrand & Votey was the first electro-pneumatic organ in St. Louis.
