- In 1922, the Lewis & Hitchcock firm built an organ for All Saints Church in Chevy Chase, on the border of Maryland and Washington DC. The instrument was modified and enlarged over time. It was replaced in 1983 by a new organ from the Cannarsa Organ Company. A three-manual organ with 45 registers was built, with some ranks taken from the old organ.
- The console was modernized in 1996 and equipped with an electrical combination system. The organ suffered a lot from the heating and from construction works in the church. After damage caused by leakage from the roof in 2002, the instrument was restored by Cannarsa in 2008.
