- De Church of Saint Michael and All Angels iin Baltimore is gebouwd in de jaren 1877-1880, en vergroot in 1890. In 1953 plaatste de firma Aeolian-Skinner een nieuw orgel. Na een brand in het kerkgebouw in juni 1961 was een restauratie noodzakelijk. Deze werd uitgevoerd door de firma Aeolian-Skinner in 1962-1963. Op 29 september 1963 nam men het orgel weer in gebruik. Het Positive Organ heeft geen eigen klavier, maar wordt bespeel vanaf het eerste manuaal (Choir).
- In de kerk stond tot 1961 ook een orgel van Wicks uit 1940 (opus 2093), als Chapel Organ. Dit is na de brand afgebroken, omdat de schade te groot was.
