Notes
2007-05-27 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- At the time I saw the organ in September 1987, then organist (Dr. James Dorroh) indicated that additions/enlargement had already taken place at the hands of Howard P. Best, III of Montevallo, Alabama. The size of the instrument indicated above is the size at that time. Console rebuilt by Colby, 1980s -Database Manager
