Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1996. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - St. Charles Co. Refurbished by Wicks c. 1995. Chimes added. -Database Manager

2016-09-09 - Updated through online information from Barry Bierwirth. <br>Organ is all original except for addition of a Chime stop. Two stops are located vertically on left side of manuals; two stops are located vertically on right side of manuals. The remainder are all located horizontally above the swell manual, and I could see no indicator of which were for Swell and which were for Great, except to try them out. The four at left on the horizontal row were Swell stops, the remainder were for the great manual. Perhaps a sign or label was once there, but there is no indication of that now. -Database Manager
