Notes

2011-07-18 - The organ was originally located in a balcony area at the back of the church. During a building expansion project in 2005, Fowler moved the organ to chambers to the right of the altar. Future plans for the organ include a new console, the addition of 14 ranks, and installation of flamed copper facade pipes in front of the chamber grillework. -Database Manager
