Sanctuary Organ - Austin op. 1301, 1925; rebuilt 1999-2001
The sanctuary organ was finished in 1925, the same year as the completion of the church building.  Built by the Austin Organ Company of Hartford, Connecticut, it is a fine example of the orchestral style of American organ building. At the time of its installation it was the largest organ in Wisconsin.

By the mid-1990's the organ was beginning to show its age, becoming increasingly temperamental and unreliable.  After weighing a number of alternatives, the congregation decided to undertake the complete rebuilding and renovation of the instrument.  Austin Organs Inc. began work in 1999, and the project was completed in June, 2001.
