  • In 1934, Austin built an organ for Saint Peter's Church, Episcopal, in Charlotte. It was dedicated on January 27, 1935 with a concert by the church's organist, William Wall Whiddit. The organ was placed on the south side of the pulpit, with an Echo Division above the entrance to the church. The console was moved to the south transept in the 1950s. On the Choir Organ the Vox Angelica 8' has been replaced by a Nazard 2 2/3'. A special register was the Choir Room Diapason on Choir. This rank was set up outside the organ in the parish hall, where the choir rehearsed.
  • In 2010 a new organ, built by C.B. Fish, Inc., was inaugurated.
