Built by: Casavant Frères (1947) - opus 1873
In 1947 the Casavant firm built a two manual organ for the Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle in Ann Arbor. The instrument was installed by Hèbert & Sons, and part of the material came from an old organ that had been constructed by the Pilcher company. In 1978 the organ was rebuilt and re-voiced by Thomas Wood, mainly because the volume and power was not sufficient.
