2009-09-20 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Rebuilt and enlarged to 3/42 by Wicks in 1985 and moved to the gallery, with the exception of the Swell, which remained at home to become a chancel organ with its own new 2-manual console as Op. 6017; the gallery installation is being assigned Op. 3154R for OHS database purposes; Wicks reuses old opus numbers for their rebuilds. -Database Manager
