Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1983. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Built for Frank Woolworth (of the dept. store chain) An electrified residence organ, originally tubular. Stoplist in OHS Archives indicates 1914, which may be when it was placed here. Several stops divided. Draw-knob console. -Database Manager

2006-04-02 - Updated through on-line information from Jason Comet. -- Console cover by hinged panels that slide over upper keyboard below music rack. Entire organ enclosed, except maybe basses of Open Diapason in façade. Crescendo Pedal on left of Swell Pedal. Pedalboard is opposite of AGO. Higher towards center, pedals turn in rather than out like AGO. Approx 2 octaves. Organ maintained in VERY good condition by David J. Raville of Chaumont, NY. French Horn rank sounds like it was replaced by a Wooden Flute - did not check. -Database Manager
