- In 1891 bouwde Frank Roosevelt een orgel (opus 506 van de firma) voor de Messiah Unitarian Church op de hoek van South Michigan Avenue en 23rd Street in Chicago. Het instrument deed hier niet lang dienst: in 1910 is het verkocht aan de First Congregational Church in Michigan City, Indiana. Deze kerk was nieuw gebouwd nadat het oude gebouw in 1907 door brand verloren was gegaan.
- In 1999 voerde de firma Rutz een restauratie uit. De kerk is in 2012 verkocht aan een ander kerkgenootschap, maar het orgel wordt door deze gemeente niet gebruikt. Mogelijk zal het worden verkocht.
