Notes

2007-11-15 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2011-03-04 - Updated through on-line information from David Michael Kenney, Sr.. -- This organ was replaced by Möller in 1986. I am not certain if any of the 1926 instrument is incorporated into the current organ. The pipe facade was painted to match the sanctuary walls years ago. The original finish of the facade pipes was a brassy gold color. -Database Manager

2016-09-03 - Rebuild, tonal changes and new console in 1986 as 2/7 Moller Op. R-174, retaining four stops and adding three. -Database Manager
