2004-10-30 - [This opus number on the Hook list for Plymouth Methodist, Buffalo, NY. Probably moved here c. 1911.] -Database Manager

2006-12-31 - Updated through online information from David Snyder. -- Bellows replaced with two standard Organ Supply reservoirs in the 1970s. Excellent restoration work including retabling of original chests carried out by Tenerowicz Pipe Organ Service in 2005/2006. Façade pipes have new stenciling replacing silver paint, which was not original. -Database Manager
