Notes: Historic St. George's Parish in Flushing, Queens, was founded in 1702 and chartered in 1761. The present building was revised and enlarged in the 1920s, at which time the E. M. Skinner organ was installed as a three-manual. Aeolian-Skinner rebuilt the organ as Op. 355-A in 1952, adding a fourth manual to the console shell. At one point the Solo division was moved from the gallery to the chancel chamber. Further revisions were made by Aeolian-Skinner in 1962 and again in 1965.
