- De First Presbyterian Church in Royal Oak, Michigan, werd gesticht in 1914. Het eerste kerkgebouw werd op 29 oktober 1916 in gebruik genomen. Deze kerk is in 1955 vervangen door de huidige, die op 17 april 1955 werd gewijd. In verband met het honderdjarig bestaan van de gemeente, is een nieuw orgel gebouwd voor de kerk door de Reuter Organ Company. Het werd gewijd op 6 oktober 2013 en heeft de naam 'The Centennial Organ' gekregen.
- Het orgel bevat veel pijpwerk uit het vorige orgel van de kerk. Dit instrument had een lange historie. Het werd in de oorspronkelijke vorm gebouw door Aeolian-Skinner als opus 942 in 1936. Het was eigendom van een radiostation. In 1955 werd het in de kerk geplaatst door de firma J.A. Herbert & Sons, nadat het was geschonken aan de kerk door Howard Perkins. Daarna is het in 1965 uitgebreid met een Choir Organ door de Möller Organ Company. De speeltafel werd in 1975 vernieuwd door Schantz. Een herbouw met uitbreidingen volgde weer in 1985 door Möller. Het orgel vertoonde echter steeds meer problemen, en er is in 2010 besloten het te vervangen.
