Notes

2006-10-17 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was reportedly a rebuild and enlargement of the existing 1889 George Andrews tracker. The Harris was tubular-pneumatic, but it is not known if this was on new chests, or a T-P pull-down on the exsiting chests. Certainly, at least one new chest would have been required. The disposition of this organ is unknown. A new edifice was built, and a new Kimball was installed in that building in 1911. The Murray M. Harris may have been taken in trade, or it may have been sold or otherwise dispersed. -Database Manager
