2025-02-06 - February 5, 2025 Striking twin dummy facades face each other across the chancel. Behind the facades only parts of the Moller remain. The manual chests have been stripped of their pipes. Bass offset pipes remain on both sides, including the bass octave of a metal 16' Open Diapason in the Great Chamber and a wooden 16' Lieblich Gedeckt in the Swell chamber. Both chambers had shades, but only the frames remain. The console is not present. The majority of the manual pipes are not present in the chambers. Their location unknown. The speakers for the current electronic organ stand on the wind chests. Labels on the chests indicate the following ranks: Swell, 8' Geigen Diapason, 8' Stopped Diapason (with 16 extension?) 8' Salicional, 8' Voix Celeste, 4' Flute Harmonic, 8' Trumpet, + 4 ranks unlabeled. Great, 8' Open Diapason (with 16' extension?) , 8' Dulciana, IV Mixture. There is no toeboard or space for an independent Great Flute. A number of components were altered or replaced suggesting an-unprofessional rebuild in the organ's past. -William Dunklin

2025-02-06 - I visited the church on February 5, 2025 and the organ has been stripped of most of its pipes. Information received online from William Dunklin on 2025-02-06 -Paul R. Marchesano
