2015-09-22 - Updated through online information from Julius Coyle. -- The organ was rebuilt and given a new console by Otto Hofmann in the mid-1950s. -Database Manager

2016-08-22 - Updated through online information from William Dunklin. <br>According to the church website, the organ was electrified in 1924. As of 2016 the organ's pipe-fence facade and casework remain largely unchanged. -Database Manager

2023-09-28 - Correction to my 9/22/15 comment. I cannot be sure that Otto Hofmann gave this organ a new console in the 1950s. The picture at https://pipeorgandatabase.org/organ/59408 shows an attached console, as it would've been in 1911, and I am not sure whether this is the original console or a new one. -Julius Coyle
