2017-05-05 - Updated by Steven Bartley, naming this as the source of information: Sun Papers 10/29/1883 pg 4; 9/19/1896 pg 10; 3/8.1902 pg7;9/16/1911;2/15/1926.<br> Organ was contracted with Hope-Jones 1896, but Hope-Jones subcontracted the work to Carlton Mitchell. The Sun papers give some information, Cost $12,000, organ run by electricity from console to chamber. Most of the organ mechanism/pipes were in a chamber on the left side of the chancel with pedal on opposite side, batteries used for power, water motor for wind, 3 manuals, 34 speaking stops, 14 couplers, concave-radiating pedalboard, 11 combination pedals. Carlton Mitchell carried out the voicing. The organ was slightly altered, in 1902 & 1911, but no details given. In 1926 a "new" organ was installed, by Harry Hall of Connecticut. Pipes from the original organ are still in the organ, which indicates the Hall organ included some/all of the Mitchell pipes. -Database Manager
