2015-05-14 - Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -Database Manager
2016-03-29 - Updated through online information from Arthur Schlueter III. <br>The organ is in the chancel and contains pipework from the original Pilcher organ that was damaged by water damage from Hurricane Ike. The tracker organ in that gallery is intact and not altered by the Schlueter organ installation in the chancel. The romantic tonal design and finishing is evocative of Pilcher. The great and swell are under expression. The console is three manuals to allow for future expansion. -Database Manager
