NOTES
Placement of the organ within the sanctuary is not presently known. The action may
well have been Roosevelt's tracker-pneumatic action.

The Roosevelt was replaced with a IV-manual Skinner (Op. 525) in 1925. The Organ
Historical Society Database entry for the Skinner states that the existing
Roosevelt organ was relocated to gallery and played from the Choir manual. Its
subsequent disposition is not known.
