Notes

2004-12-21 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 20, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2010-01-11 - Updated through online information from Matt Geda. -- The Austin was removed in 1998 and a 3 manual electronic organ was installed in its place. At the time of its removal, the Austin organ was in very poor condition and it was cheaper to replace it than to restore it. -Database Manager

2024-09-23 - Updated through online information from Jim Tartella (September 21, 2024): I visited this church on 09/21/2024. The Austin was replaced with a Rodgers a number of years ago. Some of the old pipework still remains in the chambers, but it no longer works. Console is gone. Another newer Rodgers is on the floor near the altar. Balcony has not been used since 2006. -Jim Stettner
