De firma Skinner bouwde in 1927 een orgel voor de First Congregrational Church in Evanston. Het werd ontworpen met vier manualen en pedaal, maar vanwege het beschikbare budget is het Solo Organ geschrapt. Het orgel werd op 9 oktober 1927 in gebruik genomen. Zoals meestal bij Skinner-orgels bestaat het pedaal vrijwel geheel uit transmissies en units. In 1992 is een digitale Bombarde 32' geplaatst.
