2013-06-16 - Updated through online information from John Lanier. -- This organ was built by an employee of the pipe division at Rogers Organs, Inc. of Seattle using used pipes but entirely new windchests, console and swell mechanism. It was a gift given by him to the church. According to one source, both the Sw and Gt. manuals on the console came from the Cole and Woodbury organ at St. George's Episcopal Church in NYC(circa 1907), but this cannot be verified. -Database Manager
2014-01-15 - Updated through online information from John Lanier. -- Original console was replaced in 2013 with a used 2-manual Austin console due to deterioration of the console because of heat from a near-by window. -Database Manager
