Notes

2005-12-17 - Identified through on-line information from Robert Faucher. -- Heavily unified instrument, SSLL switching system. -Database Manager

2012-07-17 - Updated through online information from Robert Faucher. -- Convent torn down. Organ sold privately to unknown party. -Database Manager

2021-03-29 - The organ was located in a chamber in the rear of the chapel, with a "dummy" pipe facade on the right hand wall. The entire organ was under expression and was heavily duplexed. It was kept in very good condition and was regularly used until the convent was sold and torn down for development. Access to the chamber was via a door immediately outside the chapel. It was a tiny organ but was lovingly maintained by the Good Shepherd Sisters and Faucher. -Andrew Scanlon
