2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1994. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Original console burned 1907. 2nd new console Wangerin 1949. Restored 1993 Fowler Organ Co. using original EP windchests with new console. Aeoline rescaled and made a celeste. -Database Manager

2007-03-18 - Updated through on-line information from Brian Fowler. -- The console is a step terrace style, similar to what may have been used originally. Draw knobs are beveled and of turned wood. The original windchests and winding system (with blower) have been retained. The original feeder bellows are in place but the crank shaft & related mechanism are gone. The organ is in regular use and is much prized by this congregation. The building also contains a collection of Tiffany windows that is exceptionally beautiful. -Database Manager
