Notes
2005-11-28 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- In 1953-54, the church contracted Austin to add to the existing 1907 Hutchings-Votey organ a new console, new wiring, add chimes, and make tonal changes. The console is prepared for the future addition of a Great III Mixture and a Pedal 16' Trombone. Cost of the work was $9,200.00. -Database Manager
