Notes
2004-12-17 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 16, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager
2013-03-24 - Updated through online information from Don Hurd. -- The organ was taken out of use by an electronic replacement located in the front/right side of the main floor. The console had lost about half of the key covers, and the leather was in poor condition. Last I heard, (1990's), a new organist was wanting to use the Austin, again. The Air Chest was full of Christmas decorations. -Database Manager
