Notes

2008-09-22 - Identified through online information from Stephen Hall. -- Building was constructed in 1858, refurbished and acoustically enhanced prior to installation of Casavant organ. Replaces a Möller organ that had been in a center chamber behind the chancel, new organ has a tall case in front of the old chamber plus an eight-rank antiphonal division in the rear gallery. Organ is in regular use for services (Sept 2008) -Database Manager
