2008-05-11 - Updated through online information from Shawn Sanders. -- The organ has been modified and only select pipes and a portion of one wind chest indicate Pilcher products. The organ was installed at this location by a former rector and members of the congregation. The organ is located in the Chapel, which was a former sanctuary. The church built a new worship space which houses the Visser-Rowland instrument. -Database Manager
