Notes

2009-06-22 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2009-06-28 - Updated through online information from Edward T Brown. -- This instrument was removed in 1968 to make way for Moller Opus 10377 which is presently in place. Antiphonal division was installed in the bell tower and spoke through lattice work obove entrance door to nave. Choir division was installed in ornamental casework with exposed speaking pipes in chancel. This casework and its pipes which are now ornamental is all that remains of Opus 1355. -Database Manager
