Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2012-10-14 - An original installation. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in The Stopt Diapason, June 1982. In 2000, the Bradford Organ Company incorporated pipes from 1929 Skinner Opus 752 into the chancel organ, tonally/mechanically updated the entire instrument, and added an Antiphonal division over the Narthex. The new console is from the 1930 Skinner Opus 818, formerly of UCLA Royce Hall in Los Angeles, California. -Database Manager
