  • In 1979 the Möller Organ Company completed a new organ for Saint Chrysostom's Episcopal Church in Chicago. It was built using most of the pipes and the windchests of the former organ, an instrument of Casavant from 1953. The new organ had 4 manuals and 90 ranks. The Antiphonal Organ was located at the rear of the church, left and right of the windows. The instrument was inaugurated with a concert by Catharine Crozier.
  • The instrument was replaced by a new organ of Fisk in 2002-2003.
