Notes
2021-07-26 - Identified throguh online information from Joe Granger/J. Granger & Assoc. This is a 1927 Moller transplanted from the D.A. Davis Residence in Detroit, Michigan at an unknown date and by an unknown person or firm. It is installed in a front ceiling chamber above the Reader's Platform. The original windchest is an electro-pneumatic duplex chest, but the organ was re-chested on E-P unit chests for this re-installation. The church had closed in the distant past. The console has been upgraded with new stop controls and combination action, and a new relay controls switching in the chamber. The pipework is to be saved. -Jim Stettner
