After the damage to the original Church of St. Peter by the 1998 tornado, the 1981 opus 53 Hendrickson pipe organ was removed and saved. The church was demolished, and a new church/school facility built a mile away. The organ was revised, enlarged to 3-manuals 40 ranks, and installed in the new church in the Spring of 2001. The facade was designed by Andreas Hendrickson, who also supervised its construction and installation. Those 1981 facade pipes, which were undamaged after the tornado, were retained and revised into the new facade.

The original organ at St. Peter Lutheran was a small Wangerin in a front left chamber behind a velvet drape, built in the early years of the 20th Century. When the tremolo was on the drape shook violently.
The organ looks odd in its new setting since it is so narrow and deep. It was designed to fit in a chamber, which is why it looks so narrow. The pedal division sticks up behind and above the main case since it was reconfigured to provide the passage beneath. Nonetheless, it sounds infinitely better in the new acoustic than it did in the old and dead sanctuary. The sound is so improved that it's hard to imagine that it's the same organ.
This 23 rank organ was built in 1987.
