Notes

2012-08-20 - Identified through online information from Tate Ashby. -Database Manager

2012-09-28 - Updated through online information from Tate Ashby. -Database Manager

2018-02-26 - Updated by Tate Ashby, who has heard or played the organ.<br> Unfortunately, this organ was removed and the entire building demolished some time during 2016. The parts were locked into storage, scattered amongst workers, or destroyed entirely, to the best of my knowledge. -Database Manager

2022-09-17 - I believe this instrument to be a reworking of the Hillgreen, Lane & Co Opus 859 (ID 63278) that was originally built for this building in March 1926. -Tate Ashby
