Notes

2007-03-19 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The contract was signed and the organ built in 1910. It was dedicated on January 13, 1911. It is believed that the organ was originally hand-pumped, and that an electric blower was added at a later date. The immense and multi-layered facade contains 75 gold-painted pipes with brown banding - of which only 17 are speaking from the Great 8' Open Diapason. The entire rest of the instrument is installed in one common chamber. -Database Manager
