After the church was closed and the congregation disolved, the organ was
moved to the Lutheran Campus Center in nearby La Crosse, Wis, and installed
in the basement of the center. The action became almost unplayable and I
(Rick Erickson) purchased all the pipework in the spring of 1972, making
careful notes of the scalings. I assume the chests and keydesk were later
destroyed. Later the pipework was broken up (spotted metal ranks sold in
summer 1973, wood ranks sold autumn 1974, and remainder sold for scrap.)
