NOTES
The church's previous instrument was a II-manual, 18-stop, 16-rank W.W. Kimball
Co. built in 1904. The façade spanned the full width of the rear gallery, and
was 11-sectional containing 87 pipes arranged: 10–5–10–5–7–13–7-5–10–5-10. The
“10's” and “7's” were pipe flats. The “5's” and the “13” were towers. The orig-
inal façade remains at the time of this writing (April, 1991), although many of
the original façade pipes are reportedly in storage in the tower.
The chimes are located in the Grotto area on the front, left side of the church,
however they were disconnected some years ago after a fire, and are currently
not playable.
