Notes

2013-02-15 - Organ relocated without any change. Identified by James R. Stettner, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- -Database Manager

2013-02-16 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was in two side-by-side chambers on the left side of the nave at the front above the side gallery. The console sat on the right with the stalls. The organist faced the chambers. The Great 8' Hohl Flute, 8' Flute Celeste, and the Pedal Bourdon unit are the only ranks that were not Hook & Hastings. All other ranks were clearly identifiable as being H & H. -Database Manager
