Notes

2007-10-14 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was in a right-side chamber in the rear gallery with gold-painted facade pipes in an arch. The organ was about 11 ranks - perhaps a bit larger. It was rebuilt by Levsen with 8 new ranks added. -Database Manager

2007-10-16 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The original console was replaced with a Klann console in the 1960s. -Database Manager
