2007-11-07 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The two chambers frame the chancel. The console is located in the rear gallery with the organist facing across the gallery. -Database Manager

2008-10-12 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was only on the left-side. It incorporated most of the pipework from the preceding 1903 Felgemaker. The combination action was upgraded to solid state in 2003. And the organ was rebuilt and enlarged by nine new ranks by Wicks in early 2007.
