Notes

2008-03-02 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The main organ was installed in the rear gallery. A 2-manual division was placed in the sanctuary behind the main altar. The organ had twin 4-manual consoles. There was a Celestial division in the dome. The organ was dedicated August 25, 1915. It was replaced in 1946 by a new Kilgen, retaining 14 stops from the 1915 instrument. -Database Manager

2014-07-04 - Updated through online information from John Speller. -- Much of the pipework from this organ was incorporated into later instruments. There is some doubt, however, whether anything other than the Sanctuary Organ was ever installed. -Database Manager
