Notes

2008-11-13 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2023-07-20 - Organ powers on but many pipes ciphering. There is extensive plaster damage to the ceiling in both chambers. The clay tile roof of the entire church is shrink wrapped, probably due to damage sustained in hurricane Ida in August 2021. There is a speaker instrument on the floor in the front of the church. -Robert Zanca
