Notes: The organ was replaced by a large custom 4-manual Allen electronic in the late 1960's and moved to the home of a church member, Dr. Thomas Elder. By the time that the Allen died thirty years later, times had changed and the Skinner sound was once again being appreciated. Fortunately, Dr. Elder still had the organ and donated it back to the church. Austin was hired to move the organ and restore it. They also added a new Antiphonal.
