Notes
2009-04-14 - Identified through on-line information from Joseph Tuttle. -- New organ using pipe work from the previous organ, which was heavily damaged by fire on November 20, 1983. The ceiling of the church collapsed on the instrument. Much of the pipework was salvaged and was incorporated with other vintage pipework into this organ, which has been expanded since its original installation. The facade stencil pattern was replicated in the new instrument. -Database Manager
2023-10-30 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington: The previous organ was a 13-stop 1973 Stuart Organ Co. enlargement of the original instrument, William M. Wilson ("successor to Henry Erben"), ca. 1883, 8 stops and ranks. The 1995 Trupiano instrument salvaged the pipework and enlarged the instrument again, recycling other vintage material but is otherwise essentially a new instrument built around the Wilson pipework. -Scot Huntington
