NOTES
The organ is installed in the rear gallery of the church in a chamber on
the left side. There are two sets of expression louvers - the larger
speaking into the sanctuary, and the smaller speaking into the choir
gallery.  Balcom and Vaughan reportedly installed new shutters in 1962.

The console is placed on the right side of the gallery with the organist
facing across the gallery. The console is rolltop with stopkeys over the
Swell manual controlling the stops.
