Notes

2005-01-08 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 31, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2005-06-01 - Original church building, now the chapel. -Database Manager

2006-10-18 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The building into which this organ was installed was originally the parish church, and is now the chapel. The chamber is at the front, on the right wall. The console is in an alcove on the left side directly opposite the chamber, with the organist facing the chamber. -Database Manager

2007-05-02 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager

2014-03-10 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The parish is expecting to take delivery of a new Pasi tracker sometime in mid-2015. They are now (March, 2014) beginning to search for an interested buyer or home for the Austin. -Database Manager

2016-06-12 - Updated through online information from Sean Haley. <br>The organ has been removed and the new mechanical action organ by Martin Pasi is nearly complete. The chamber once housing the Austin now contains the first twelve notes of the shared Great/Pedal 16' Bourdon on electric action. -Database Manager

2016-06-13 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. <br>No buyer was found for the organ before time for the new Pasi to be installed, so it was literally carted-off to the dump according to organist Tom Foster. The bench was kept. -Database Manager

NOTES
The organ is installed in a chamber on the right side of the chancel. The console is
in a small transept on the left side of the chancel opposite the pipes. The console
is appointed with the standard divisional cancel bars located of the stoptablets of
each division.

This chapel was the original church building until the present edifice was built in
the early 1950's, at which time a new II-manual, 11-rank Austin was installed.

The 1919 Austin was replaced in mid-2015 by a new Pasi tracker.
