Notes

2013-11-16 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Brummer revised the original Moller of 1926 with several substituted ranks, and a few additions, and the replacement of the original three manual console with a new three-manual drawknob console (still extant) in 1954, at the golden anniversary of the church building, which had been built in 1904 and significantly enlarged in 1926, when the Moller was installed. -Database Manager
