  • The Wicks Organ Company built a new organ for Trinity Episcopal Church in Mobile, Alabama, in 1972. The instrument consisted of two instruments with one console: a Chancel Organ with four divisions and a Gallery Organ with three divisions. The Gallery Organ also had its own two-manual console on the gallery.
  • After a tornado on Christmas Day in 2012, the church was badly damaged. A large part of the roof was removed. The chancel organ was dismantled hereafter, and a new gallery organ was built in 2013-2014 by Goulding & Wood.
