NOTES
The organ is original to the 1883 sandstone building. It is installed in a
front, let alcove with Dulciana basses showing over the keydesk, and dummy
facade pipes facing into the chancel.

The bass octave of the Great 8' Open Diapason is stopped. The lowest 13 of
the 8' Dulciana are en façade. The Swell 4' Harmonic Flute is harmonic from
tenor C. There appears to be no Tremulant on the organ. The Swell 'String'
and Harmonic Flute labels were missing at the time of the 1970 OHS Convention.

It was restored in 1973 by A.R. Strauss.
