"Two years prior to the installation of the Brooks organ in Waco Hall, a smaller organ, called the Kimball organ, was placed in the building. Robert Markham, professor in Baylor's organ department, designed the specifications of the Brooks organ, which was an enlargement of the Kimball organ." -- Baylor University Archives


Database Manager on July 9th, 2010:

Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the installation of a used pipe organ in a shed next to a building being used as a temporary chapel before Waco Hall was built in 1930. According to the online version of Baylor Magazine (Summer 2010 Volume 8, Number 4), "Before Waco Hall opened in 1930, Baylor Chapel services and musical events made use of a small, second-hand pipe organ housed in a shed next to the large frame building used as a temporary chapel."
