- Op 11 april 1887, Eerste Paasdag, werd in Saint Paul's Cathedral in San Diego een nieuw orgel in gebruik genomen, gebouwd door de firma Hook & Hastings. Het was een tweeklaviers orgel. In 1915 werd het instrument uitgebreid door de Johnston Organ Company. In 1950 is een nieuw kerkgebouw in gebruik genomen. Het orgel werd door de firma M.P. Möller overgeplaatst, maar is daarbij ook uitgebreid tot drie manualen en pedaal en ingrijpend gewijzigd. Het had nu 45 stemmen. De firma Aeolian-Skinner herbouwde het orgel nogmaals in 1969, waarbij het werd uitgebreid tot vier manualen.
- In 2011 is het orgel door de Quimby Pipe Organ Company geheel herbouwd, waarbij het pijpwerk grotendeels is hergebruikt.
