To celebrate the Phillips new (third) building in 1937, which replaced their 1900 (second) building:
Sept 22, 1937, entitled "Phillips Church Ceremonies Beginning Tomorrow Combining with Rally for Coming Year's Work"
There is one quote in the article regarding the organ: "The old Woodbury organ has been thoroughly renovated and enlarged by the addition of a choir organ and chimes. The organ is back of the chancel"
In other words, in (or prior to) 1937 Frazee removed the 2-manual Woodberry tracker organ prior to the demolition of the old building, and from it created a 3-manual electropneumatic organ retaining all pipework and all manual chestwork from Woodberry to install in a new chamber in the new building.
