Notes

2010-11-02 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was a gift from Donald Beggs, and named for Warren A. Cross, a lifetime resident of Essex and friend of Mr. Beggs. The organ is free-standing and encased in the front, left corner. The 3-sectional facade features flamed copper and polished tin pipes. The swellbox is functionally exposed. In 2007 Mr. Harold DeMarse of Queensbury, NY rebuilt the windchests. The organ is used for regular concerts in addition to its church work. -Database Manager
