Notes

2012-06-19 - Identified through online information from Jeremy Horth. -- Player organ, Pipes to the organ are located in the basement, sound of the pipes speaks through a wrought iron gothic styled grille outside of the console alcove, Music rolls are located and stored (still to this day) in a small closet in the left wall of the console alcove. -Database Manager

2015-03-27 - Updated through online information from Henry Miller. -- Current estimates for restoration are around $800,000. The foundation that owns this organ would like to have it restored, but the costs (and more critical needs to the building it is in) have thus far prevented anything from being done. -Database Manager
