In 1905, Calvary Church acquired a secondhand Johnson & Son organ, Opus 415, 1874, built originally for Christ Church, Episcopal, Harlem, Illinois (although it is listed on the firm's opus list as Oak Park, adjacent to Harlem, now part of River Forest). A history relates: "Many who are schooled in music have commented on the quality of the organ and this is explained by the circumstance that Dudley Buck, famous both as organist and composer of church music, was a close friend of Mr. Quick [then the rector], and as a favor to him personally supervised the construction of the instrument." UnfortunatelY, this lovely organ burned in the 1966 fire. Alan Laufman recorded the stoplist of this instrument in 1959.
