Notes

2009-02-20 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was prepared for two additional ranks: a 4' Octave Geigen on the Choir and an 8' Aeoline on the Swell; plus chimes and celesta. In 1968, Wicks added an 8-rank, non-expressive Antiphonal division on the back wall. In 1976, the organ was again rebuilt by Balcom and Vaughan. -Database Manager
