2009-09-22 - Identified through on-line information from Stephen Hall. -- According to news article in "Casper Journal," the organ is 60 years old, but enlarged by Reuter in 2009. The exposed functional display looks more like a product of the 1960s or 70s than the 1940s; it may have been a small Wicks organ rebuilt and enlarged at a later date with the "prepared for" ranks added by Reuter in 2009. I suspect the organ was by Wicks because of the use of the contrasting "brushed gold" tuning slides, I have seen those on Wicks organs built in the 1960s to early 1990s. Great and Pedal in functional display on either side of large window in rear gallery. Positiv in functional display on gallery rail (no case), Swell in chamber on left side.
