Notes: The opening recital for this organ was by Robert Elmore and held on June 9, 1946. The organ was sold and moved to the First Baptist Church of Denver in 1948, where it surfaced as Op. 1047-A (a IV/124 with Great, Swell, Choir, Solo and Pedal). The organ at the Senator's residence was replaced in 1956 by Op. 1269, a IV/140 which soon was destroyed by fire.
