Notes

2007-07-09 - Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> Rebuild of Reuben Midmer tubular organ with new console; extant; unaltered.</i> -Database Manager

2018-08-12 - Merged with St. William R. C. Church August 31, 2004, to become Blessed Mother Teresa Parish. -Database Manager

2022-08-28 - There is an electronic organ in use, located on the front right-hand side of the nave. Organ console and pipework appear to be present as observed from floor. -Andrew Scanlon

2022-10-21 - Visited the Organ today. It switches on, and parts of the Swell and Pedal are playable Great is not playable at all. Entire instrument in very poor condition. Has not been in regular use for at least two decades. Appears to be almost completely intact in place. Leo Abbot told me that the instrument is Midmer, and only the console was renovated in the 1940s, the rest remaining original. -Andrew Scanlon
