Notes

2013-08-15 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on information from facebook photos and posting by Robert Woodworth, Jr. -- The organ is installed in divided chambers on either side of the chancel. The original Hall console has since been replaced by an Austin console which still retains the original Hall nameplate. -Database Manager
