Notes

2007-10-19 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- 3-sectional facade. The Swell 16' Bourdon Base and 8' Stop'd Diapason Bass pipes are outside the swellbox. The Great [III] Mixture is only II-ranks for the top 7 notes. Similarly, the Swell [II] Cornett Dolce is only I-rank for the top 7 notes. The Pedal 8' Violoncello is belled. The congregation built a new edifice in 1885 and the organ was relocated by an unknown person or firm. The case was slightly altered at that time, and the original hitch-down expression pedal was replaced with a balanced system. No tonal changes were made. The Congregational church later absorbed Methodist and Baptist congregations, becoming The United Church. -Database Manager
