Notes: Church closed c.2004 and organ purchase by St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Glendale, California. After a period in storage, it was installed in the Glendale church in 2009 by Foley-Baker, who also removed the organ from the Reading church. In Glendale, it replaced a 3/45 Schlicker that was sold to First Lutheran Church, Montclair, New Jersey.
