Notes

2006-12-21 - Identified through on-line information from Eric Fahner. -- This is a 1950s four-manual organ, with the main part in the balcony, and the echo at the Altar. In the early 1990s it was renovated by the Paragallo Organ company of Paterson, New Jersey, and again by the Konzelman organ company of Hoboken, New Jersey. This last time the console was altered, and possibly the pipework. it is again in need of rebuilding, but is not often used. -Database Manager
