Notes: An 8' Aeoline was voiced as Op. 422-A on 4/6/38, but it is not clear whether it was an addition or a replacement stop. The organ was removed as the building was being demolished in 1956; it was replaced by a large 4-manual custom Allen in the new sanctuary that quickly became knows as The Fish Church; the Skinner was purchased by the Presbyterian Church of Dover, Delaware. It was renovated and first used for services on 10/14/62. It was due to be replaced by an Allen (yet again) in October 2009.
