NOTES
This is one of Möller's “Artiste” models, and was originally built for this same
congregation when it was known as Champion Street Baptist at another location. As
originally built, the organ was II-manuals and 3-ranks: Diapason, Gedeckt, and Viola.
It was moved to this new location in 1960 by Balcom and Vaughan with two added ranks:
Trompette and Voix Celeste, and a 24-pipe 16'/8' Violone/Open Diapason extension. The
chimes were also added at this time.
