2010-01-16 - Identified by Rae Bolton from information furnished by Casavant Frères, courtesy of Simon Couture. -Database Manager
2010-05-02 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- The contract was for the addition of pipework and chests to the existing organ; the organ was combined with a 4-manual Rodgers in the new sanctuary in 2004. -Database Manager
2017-11-24 - Updated by Steven Bartley, who maintains the organ.<br> This writer maintained the organ in the 1990s. The core of the organ is an older Moller with a mix of Moller and older pipes. Casavant added a new Great division (in the ceiling) and an exposed Positive division against the wall behind the pulpit. The room dates from the early 1950s and is in a modernist style similar to a movie theater of the same period. The heavy carpeting, sound deadening plaster and padded theater seats hamper the sound of the organ. -Database Manager
