Built by: Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company (ca. 1935) - opus 933
The Aeolian-Skinner firm built a large instrument for the Third Presbyterian Church in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania as opus 933. In 1970, a new modern chapel was built for Lincoln College in Lincoln, Illinois. An organ builder from Quincy, Illinois transferred the organ to this chapel. However, the job was never completed: the organ was in a poorly playable condition and not completed. The original front was left in Pittsburgh. The Schneider firm was commissioned in 1991 to reconstruct the organ and restore it to good condition. For this goal it was largely rebuilt. The work was completed in the spring of 1995. For the future, the intention was to place the reserved stops and to construct a front.
