Notes

2013-07-23 - Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by Jeff Scofield, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Originally installed in the church's old sanctuary in 1917; moved by Midmer-Losh to the new sanctuary in 1925 when the congregation relocated; the organ was also enlarged at that time; the console was eventually rebuilt and a large-scale full-length 32' Bombarde bottom octave was added; the organ was replaced by an electronic instrument ca. 2003, but the pipes are believed to still be in the chamber. -Database Manager
