Notes
2008-04-11 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. Installed September 1948, according to <i>The American Organist</i>, December 1948, pages 398 and 400. Organist was John F. Callaghan. The Great division was expressive. There was one preparation on each of the Swell, Great, Choir, and Pedal divisions. Console preparations also included the Echo division of 6 named stops (likely 4 ranks) and three additional unnamed stops and Tremulant and Echo Pedal division of two prepared for stops. -Database Manager
