2008-10-20 - Updated through information posted to PIPORG-L by Cullie Mowers: -- This unforgettable instrument in spectacular acoustics was heard with orchestra and chorus at the closing program of the 1980 OHS Convention. In the intervening years it has been extensively and respectfully restored, including the large and richly-decorated facade. -Database Manager
2009-03-17 - Updated through on-line information from Michael Haughn. -- The organ was originally added to the choir loft during the church's construction, before the roof was built. The original blower was situated in a gallery level room to the left of the organ, in which large ducts provided the air. After a renovation of the instrument, the current blower system is now attached to the instrument. -Database Manager
