2009-01-15 - Updated through online information from John Ellington. -- The pipes are all original and no additions have been made to original installation 1922-23 when the entire church was rebuilt, the result of a fire. The pipes are located above and behind the pulpit and choir area. Console is detached and sits at 90 degree angle to the pipes, facing choir and pulpit. The console was rebuilt in 1972-3 by Randall Dyer according to a plate on the console. The sanctuary went through a major remodel in the early 1980s. Not sure what was done to the organ here. -Database Manager
