Cost of the project was $4,500.00. The console appears to be the original Reuter console, but bears the black and brass "Balcom and Vaughan - Master Organ Builders" nameplate. The "A" shaped chamber is at the front of the room on the right side of the chancel. An 8' Trumpet was added to the organ later by Balcom and Vaughan. Documented: June 19, 2008. -Database Manager

NOTES
This organ was reportedly a used Reuter of undocumented provenance. It
was installed used by Balcom and Vaughan “as is” in 1958 as their opus
642. Later, an 8’ Trumpet was added on a new E-P unit chest by Balcom and
Vaughan as their SC 410. This made use of 3 existing tablet positions
with newly engraved tablets.
The organ is installed in an A-shaped chamber on the right side of the
chancel. The console occupies the front, left corner of the chancel with
the organist facing across the chancel - towards the chamber and with the
congregation to the right. The console is rolltop with stopkeys over the
Swell manual controlling the stops. There is no combination action, and
there are no couplers. The Voix Celeste automatically draws the 8’
Salicional when registered.
