Notes

2011-07-07 - Work might have been a rebuild of another organ. Company documents show no console as part of the job. -Database Manager

2012-12-11 - Updated through online information from Kerwn Leader. -- Much of the original Hutchings-Votey organ pipework incorporated in 1964 installation in Herrick Chapel by Organcraft Associates of Erie, Pennsylvania, adding several "new" ranks and a Schantz console. -Database Manager

2024-12-05 - Most ranks which appear vintage are stamped with “1613” which does not logically correspond to any organ yet in the database. It is obvious this instrument is a rebuild and expansion of an older instrument, however the builder of the original instrument remains unknown. I'm quite certain it is not a Hutchings-Votey from 1937 as they had gone out of business long before then. -Ryan Boyle

2024-12-05 - The console received a new Syndyne MS8400 combination action in 2024. Installation of the rest of the system and restoration of the organ await funding. -Ryan Boyle
