Notes
2014-03-28 - This is a rebuild of an existing organ.
Identified by Shawn P. Keith, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- Organ is assembled from badly butchered case, facade, and wind chests of unknown builder but likely original to the building. Original slider wind chest toeboards were converted to electric action. Console is second-hand to the installation and largely inoperable. -Database Manager
