Notes

2008-08-31 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The organ and choir are located in the right front of the nave. The organ and choir were used in at least one episode of "Matlock," which filmed many episodes in Wilmington. -Database Manager

2010-12-26 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- In 1995, Casavant cleaned the organ, revoiced the reed stops and added a new 8' Trumpet 61 pipes on the Positiv, using and re-engraving the old Chimes drawknob. -Database Manager
