2025-06-02 - The organ was located in a west end gallery of the chapel accessed from a hallway of the Dunn Memorial building (the nursing school). The organ chamber and organist faced each other across the gallery, and the sound made a 90 degree turn to get into the nave. The combination action has no assist. The force used to press a piston moves the stop tabs. -Mark A. Smith
