Notes
2007-10-11 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was actually electrified in the old edifice by Fred Beaks in 1953. A new Möller console was provided. The new [present] church was begun in June 1962 and the new sanctuary dedicated in May 1963. The pipes were installed in side-by-side chambers at the front (Great, left; Swell, right). The console and choir were in an elevated, rear gallery which proved to be a problem. Console and choir later relocated to the front of the church. Chimes added as a memorial gift after 1963 installation. -Database Manager
