2017-03-05 - Austin rebuilt and enlarged the 1891 Frank Roosevelt organ, retaining 27 ranks of pipes. Austin voiced the organ on 10" wind pressure. The organ was installed in chambers on two sides of the chancel and the openings were masked by display pipes decorated in French leaf gold bronze. The swell boxes were constructed of concrete and had horizontal beveled shades. Austin provided a detached, four-manual stop-key console that was built to A.G.O. standards. -Database Manager
