Notes

2005-04-12 - To be replaced c. 2004 by the 1905 Hook & Hastings Op. 2082 from the W. Duncan McKim residence in Washington, DC. Installation by David Storey. -Database Manager

2014-05-22 - Updated through online information from Steve Bartley. -- Organ was to have been replaced by the 3 man H & H originally from the McKim residence. After several years the church decided not to make the change. The Gottfried is all but silent. The organ contains many of Gottfried's special stops. The original installation makes regular tuning and maintenance nearly impossible. Ranks can be seen but not accessed. Compounding the cramped installation are the complex wind chest designs which are not conducive to repair or rebuilding. A Reisner electro-mechanical relay was crudely installed in the past. Pipe condition is good. -Database Manager
