2021-01-15 - The organ was built in 1927, replacing a previous instrument donated by Andrew Carnegie at the time of the church's completion in 1903. It is rumored that some of the original pipework was included in the build in 1927. The organ was rebuilt in 1954 and a IV rank Plein Jeu was added to the Swell division, the instrument's only mixture stop. The organ was dismantled in 1985 for the installation of the Schantz instrument. -Brian Zook
