2007-09-28 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This is the Hook & Hastings Size No. 6 listed in their catalogue. There are 13 gold painted pipes en facade. Unknown what work was done in 1915. The work done by Philip A. Beaudry Co. in 1967 was a mechanical renovation and revoicing. It doesn't seem that any tonal or mechanical changes have occurred. -Database Manager
