In 1908 bouwde de firma Casavant een orgel voor de Wesleyan Methodist Church in Winnipeg. Het instrument is in 1920 overgeplaatst naar de First Church of Christ, Scientist. In 1955 werd het door de firma Hill, Norman & Beard ingrijpend verbouwd en uitgebreid. De tractuur is daarbij geëlectrificeerd en er is een nieuwe speeltafel geplaatst. In 1996 is de Quartane 2 ranks gewijzigd in een Sesquialtera.
