Notes:

Identified through information published in John Ferguson's Walter Holtkamp: American Organ Builder (DMA treatise, Eastman School of Music, 1976). Although neither Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling nor their successor Holtkamp Organ Co. assigned Opus numbers to their instruments, this organ was identified in factory documents as Job number 1602. That number appears here as the Opus number of this instrument. (Database Manager. 2008-12-20)
The congregation left the Episcopal Church in 1978 and joined the Anglican Church of America because the Episcopal Church began allowing ordination of female clergy. (Chad Boorsma. 2013-02-03)
