Notes

2014-11-29 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Matthew J. Geda, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- Organ is playable, but has many dead notes on the Swell and Choir divisions at this time. From what minister said, the organ is seldom played. It has a very robust, sweet tone and would be a good candidate for restoration. -Database Manager

2014-12-03 - Updated through online information from Matthew J. Geda. -Database Manager

2024-09-09 - I visited this church last year. Organ is no longer in use. Many stops no longer work. Information rec'd online from Jim Tartella on 2024-09-09 -Paul R. Marchesano
