- De firma Koehnken & Grimm bouwde in 1876 een drieklaviers orgel voor de Mother of God Roman Catholic Church in Covington, Kentucky. Het orgel is in 1958 omgebouwd door H. Frederick. Daarbij is een nieuwe speeltafel geplaatst. De omvang van de manualen werd vergroot van 58 naar 61 toetsen, en van het pedaal van 25 naar 32 toetsen. Het Choir Organ breidde men uit met twee nieuwe registers.
- In 1977 werd het orgel gerestaureerd door de firma Cunningham. De vermelde dispositie is van voor deze restauratie.
