<u>NOTES</u>
The pipes are located in a central chamber at the front of the church, speaking
directly down the center aisle. The console sits at the right side of the sanctuary
at the edge of the chancel platform with the organist facing across the chancel -
the congregation to the left. The console appears to be a reworked, 1950's, elec-
tronic organ console in an "Art Nouveau" style.
