Notes: In 1948, Aeolian-Skinner installed a new console as Op. 1131 for the existing 1905 Murray Harris organ in the old sanctuary.  From 1957-1960 Aeolian-Skinner installed a new organ as Op. 1131-A and soon thereafter the Antiphonal and Antiphonal Pedal as Op. 1131-B.  Only the 32' Flute Ouverte was retained from the Murray Harris organ.  Due to earthquake damage, the 1905 sanctuary was replaced in 1976 by a new 900-seat sanctuary.  Casavant moved the organ to the new building, where it is functionally installed in the contemporary building.  Casavant also created a new facade made up of the 32' Principal and 16' Octave.  Due to the design of the new building, the Antiphonal divisions did not make the move and were placed in storage.
