Notes

2012-07-20 - The organ was originally installed in 1902 at the back wall of the chancel with a stenciled facade of pipes. It was moved to the right side of the chancel during a sanctuary remodeling project, during which time the speaking facade pipes were moved into the chamber. The current facade pipes do not speak. According to church records, the organ was "completely rebuilt" in 1956. -Database Manager
