This organ is in original condition save for minor alterations by John J. Smith & Sons in 1928, including new stop
knob facings, centering the swell pedal, and adding a concave, radiating pedalboard. The original stenciling
has been over-painted at some point. This organ is exceptional in that it plays into two rooms, both the Sanctuary
and the Parish Hall, used for large crowds. Shortly after completing this organ Jardine began work on the Grand Organ
for the new St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Because of its bold choruses it is known locally as \"Big Bertha.\"
