Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1981. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Later moved to present building by Hy Stahl. Swell shoe added by Carl Barckhoff. 662 pipes. Compass 61/27. Restored by John G. P. Leek Organ Co. in 1980. -Database Manager

2009-09-05 - Updated through online information from Michael Loris. -- I was the first person to "discover" this organ, on 10 August 1958. As I recall, it was built for this building, so what does "present building" mean? Also, there are errors in the typed stoplist. -Database Manager
