NOTES
The organ is in a split case surrounding the stained glass window in the rear gallery
with the console in a fixed position located between the cases, closer to the left case
with the organist facing the case – congregation to their left. The consultant for the
project in 1975-76 was Paul G. Bunjes of River Forest, IL.
