Built by: Ernest M. Skinner (1922) - opus 371

- After the construction of the current church for Saint John's Episcopal Church in Saint Paul, the old Farrand & Votey organ from 1891 was initially transferred. In 1910, Robert Hope-Jones built a new organ, but this was replaced in 1922 by the current instrument, built by Ernest M. Skinner. On July 8, 1922, George Fairclough played the inaugurational concert.
- The organ was renovated in 1950 by the Möller company. They installed a new console and expanded the organ with a few registers. The sound became more baroque in character. In 2008, the Schantz Organ Company carried out a restoration. They installed a new console and expanded the organ with a few stops and a new Antiphonal Organ. They also revoiced the organ to make it more sound like the original work of Skinner.
