2006-05-23 - Updated through online information from Floyd Higgins. -- The rebuild of 1988 was carried out by Austin Organs, Inc. It involved the replacement of some stops and the addition of others, plus a rebuilding of the combination action. This was one of my first projects at Austin Organs. I don't know if further work was done by someone else, but Austin needs to be acknowledged for work which it did in 1988. -Database Manager
2007-05-31 - Updated through online information from David P. Rankin. -- The organ was rebuilt and enlarged in 1988-1990 by the Austin Organ Company with Floyd Higgins in charge. -Database Manager
