- Forest Hill Presbyterian Church had been located at 1040 Woodlawn Road since the 1950s. In 1981, the Zimmer & Sons company built a two-manual organ for the church. It was a 23-stop unit organ, derived from nine ranks. On October 18, 1981, the organ was inaugurated with a concert by John Hebblethwaite. The instrument was originally set up on a gallery at the rear of the church, but was moved by Zimmer in 1985 to the front, above the pulpit, with the console on the church floor.
- At the beginning of the twenty-first century, it was decided to move to another location in the city. The church building has been demolished, and in 2007 the construction of apartment complexes on this site started. It is not known what happened to the organ.
