Notes

2004-10-30 - Rebuilt by Stuart Organ Co. -Database Manager

2023-10-30 - The Stuart rebuild enlarged the organ to 13 ranks, and it was rebuilt again by Mann and Trupiano of Brooklyn, to 19 stops in 1995. The organ now has a detached console, but still has mechanical action, and is in regular use (2023). -Scot Huntington

2023-10-30 - A subsequent entry for this instrument states it was badly damaged by a church fire on Nov. 20, 1983, when the ceiling collapsed onto the instrument. The 1995 Trupiano instrument salvaged the pipework and enlarged the instrument again, recycling other vintage material but is otherwise essentially a new instrument built around the Wilson pipework. -Scot Huntington
