2013-06-15 - Updated through online information from steve bartley. -- In the early 1960s the rear of the organ chamber was sliced off as part of a building project. A school building for the congregation was added to the building complex. The original Niemann organ provided a very small space for a few singers and the Greek congregation desired a larger space for a full choir. These two conditions, smaller chamber and larger choir space necessitated a smaller organ. Lewis & Hitchcock was hired to provide a smaller organ for the available space. <br>11 ranks of the Niemann organ were used plus a new reed. The unified Great 8 open diapason was provided 12 bass pipes from the old 16 double Open Diapson to provide a 16 open in the pedal, and the Stopped Diapason was provided 12 bass pipes from the original Swell 16 Bourdon to allow it to also play at the 16 pitch -Database Manager
