Notes

2008-08-31 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- In 1992, console and choir lowered from center gallery to pulpit level; at that time, R. A. Colby renovated the console and added facade pipes. The fourth manual division, first called Antiphonal and later Ancillary, is prepared-for. -Database Manager
