Notes

2007-10-20 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2007-12-19 - Updated through online information from Vince Harzewski. -- Luminous console. The facility is now Canisius High School. I worked in the maintenance department from 1981-1988. The school took possession of the building in 1944, and the organ was removed sometime thereafter. The blowers were still there, but not much else remained. I had a conversation with a faculty member who was there at the time the organ was removed, and his recollection was that the organ went to St. Francis College in Loretto, Pennsylvania. Correspondence with the college to verify this story was attempted, but I was unable to substantiate the claim. -Database Manager
