Notes
2007-05-05 - Identified through online information from Stanley R. Scheer. -- The organ replaced two-manual 1893 Johnson Op. 804. It is installed in chambers to each side of the choir loft, with functionally-displayed pipework in front of the openings toward the nave and toward the choir loft. The church is now known as Court Street United Methodist Church. -Database Manager
2022-09-30 - The organ was altered ca. 1980 by V. Paul Serresseque Organ Service of Saginaw, Michigan with the addition of a Trompette en Chamade. Subsequent changes included a new solid state control system with increased memories, the addition of non-original Sub- and Super-couplers, and two Walker Technical added Pedal stops. -Jim Stettner
