Notes

2012-07-21 - Identified through online information from Thomas Veregge. -Database Manager

2013-02-10 - Updated through online information from Thurlow Weed. -- Organ was originally installed in a square case with painted/stencilled facade pipes in 1900. It was located at the front right of the Nave. In 1923 the organ was moved to the north side of the choir, and installed in a newly-built chamber. New installation continued as a tracker action. -Database Manager

2013-02-23 - Updated through information from Thurlow Weed -- the Felgemaker was dispersed when Wicks Opus 3280 was installed in 1952. The original intention was to re-use several ranks, but only the Dulciana was incorporated into the new organ, where it became the Swell Voix Celeste. -Database Manager

2013-03-01 - Updated through online information from Thurlow Weed. -- Research of archived church records provided resolution to discrepancies in information about the organ. It was not a I/5 as previously described, but rather a II/7. -Database Manager
