Unknown - Sanctuary Interior, Chancel, and Organ Cases ((ca. 1911) Vintage Postcard; image courtesy of William Dunklin/Database Manager)
2005-06-08 - Identified through online information from Paul Grimwood. -- This instrument was built in 1908 after the original church and organ were destroyed by fire in 1906. It was the second completely new Casavant in Hamilton. An echo division was installed in the rear gallery in 1918, and inaugurated by Joseph Bonnet. A new Casavant console was installed in 1950. In 1982 the organ was tonally revised and overhauled by Alan T. Jackson for Casavant Freres. Plans exist for converting the console to solid state by 2007. Specifications on the church website. -Database Manager
2010-03-06 - Updated through information from Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture: -- Rebuilt as Op. 2031; See Op. 754. -Database Manager
