NOTES
The original Guenther organ was built for the chapel of St. Vincent's Hospital.
It was later displaced and purchased by Gordon Potter of Portland who later sold it
to Dr. Kaye.
As of July 22, 1992, Dr. Kaye had replaced the Great 1-3/5' Seventeenth with a III
Mixture.
Stops marked with an asterisk (*) in the preceding specification are believed to be
from the original Guenther organ. The console is original and still bears its original
nameplate.
