This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This instrument was relocated to Saint Anne’s Roman Catholic Church in Castle Shannon, when the 1962 Beckerath instrument was installed.

Identified by James R. Stettner, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Current Cathedral organist, Donald Fellows.
According to emailed information from Donald Fellows, "The Kimball would have been from the late 1800's. It was removed from the building when the diocese sold the property. The organ was put in storage until the new cathedral was ready to receive it. It functioned into the 1950's."
Database Manager on July 9th, 2019:
This entry describes a new home for an organ that was relocated without either tonal or mechanical changes.
Identified by James R. Stettner, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: Current Cathedral organist, Donald Fellows.
The transplanted Kimball lasted into the 1950's. It was to have been replaced by an Aeolian-Skinner, but G. Donald Harrison's death, related delays, and an increased cost caused the Cathedral to cancel the contract. Subsequent disposition of the Kimball is not presently known.
