2022-02-08 - In its edition of 30 March 1883, *The Ann Arbor Baptist Courier* reported that "The organ of the Baptist Church has arrived and is now being set in position by the builders, G. Wood & Son, of Detroit. The outside woodwork is black ash to correspond with the other interior decorationsof the church, and the pipes have a delicate lilac for their ground color. It stands just back of the pulpit and is 21½ feet high, 14 feet wide, and nearly 10 feet deep. Its two manuals have 61 notes, and its pedals 27 notes. There are about 800 pipes and 22 stops...It is a beautiful mechanism and is worth about $2,300. -- *1995 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
