Notes: The Parsons College Ankeny Hall (with Chapel) was one of the original buildings on campus from 1875. The Austin organ was in this chapel (constructed around 1910). The Ankeny Hall Chapel is no longer extant and Parsons College was closed in the 1970's. The campus was purchased by Mararishi University. 

A later chapel building (Barhydt Chapel) housed a separate Moller instrument from the 1960's. The Moller instrument was moved to a new town facility called the Sondheim Center for the Performing Arts before Barhydt Chapel was razed.
