  • Boston Avenue Methodist Church in Tulsa was built to a design by Rush, Endacott & Goff Architects. The church was designed in Art Deco style and was consecrated in 1929. Kilgen Organ Company built the first organ, an instrument with 48 ranks. It was inaugurated on June 12, 1929 with a concert by Albert Riemenschneider. This organ was replaced in 1961 by a new and larger organ from the Möller Organ Company. Robert Glasgow played the inauguration concert on February 20, 1962. A Bourdon 32' was installed on the pedal later in the year, and a Posaune 32' in 1965.
  • Möller renovated and modernized the organ in 1986-1988. It was increased from 74 to 105 ranks. Fred Elder played the first concert on the renovated organ on February 28, 1988. Daniel Angerstein overhauled the organ in 1995, and installed a Trompette-en-Chamade in 1999. Finally, the organ was rebuilt by the Foley-Baker Company in 2019-2020, with more than half of Möller's pipework being replaced.
