Notes

2009-02-28 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Originally installed by Barkhoff in 1895; rebuilt by unknown builder in 1932; the Möller contract was a console-only job; replaced in 1994 by a 3/44 Lively-Fulcher, retaining some of the Barkhoff pipework. -Database Manager

2013-01-21 - Updated through online information from Carl Schwartz. -- M. P. Moller tonally altered the organ (Richard Whitelegg) in 1943 to the listed Specification. The 1951 work consisted of the newer console installed by the Newcomer Organ Company and additional tonal finishing under the direction of Ernest White -Database Manager
