Notes
2008-06-28 - Identified through information adapted from <i>E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List</i>, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: <br><i> Gallery installation; the existing eight rank Estey, #2798 was retained as Chancel organ; dedication recital played by James A. Thomas on January 13, 1963,</i> -Database Manager
2012-02-15 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The Chancel Organ was made up of some stops from the old Estey, with more pipework added later by others; the Chancel Organ is now silent due to water damage. -Database Manager
