Notes

2007-09-28 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the relocating of the existing 1860 Johnson/1888 Howard organ to the new church. No mechanical or tonal changes were made. But the facade had to be sacrificed to fit the organ into the new low-ceilinged edifice. -Database Manager
