Notes

2012-04-07 - The organ was originally built by Lyon & Healy in 1907 as a 10-rank tracker instrument. It was rebuilt by Kilgen ca. 1958, and then more pipework was added by an unknown builder at a later date. At this time, Lauck installed new electric windchests, a solid-state relay system, and new swell box and expression shades. The pipework was also revoiced. The digital stops and Allen console were installed by Westfield Organ Company. -Database Manager
