2005-10-02 - On line update from Kenneth Courtney: Replaced with Casavant #3028 in 1969 when the church built a new building. The Hook & Hastings was stored until c. 1987, when it was given to a Presbyterian church in Florida. -Database Manager
2014-12-05 - Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- The building was neo-colonial brick contemporary with the organ. The choir was slightly above and behind the pulpit, with a balustrade at waist height. The pipes were behind a balustrade facade above choir head level and spanning the width of the loft. Great and Swell were in separate enclosures. I believe the Pedal 16 Bourdon was located with the Great. -Database Manager
