Notes: "Rossetter G. Cole presides over the latest Skinner organ to be placed in Chicago and its suburbs - that in the First Church of Christ, Scientist, at Evanston. It is a three-manual of thirty-two stops. Mr. Cole has served this church since 1909, in addition to his many other distinguished musical activities. The new organ was completed June 1.

"The organ chamber is at the rear of the readers' platform and the tone comes into the auditorium through open ornamental lattice work, which conceals the pipes. The console is at the north end of the platform, at the left of the readers. The action is electro-pneumatic."
