Notes

2008-12-20 - Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- According to the on-line church history, the organ was contracted late in 1922, and built/installed in 1923. It cost $10,300.00. It was installed in two chambers on each side of the chancel with large, twin facades facing one another across the chancel and a smaller pipe fence facade facing into the sanctuary. In 1952, the organ was rebuilt and enlarged. -Database Manager
