Notes

2021-10-28 - A photo on the church's Facebook showed what looked like a 4-manual Allen console. -Jeff Scofield

2021-10-28 - From the November 1966 issue of THE DIAPASON: "Immaculate Conception Church, 'Washington, Pa. has completed its two-stage acquisition of a 57-rank organ built by Steiner of Louisville, Ky. Approximately two-thirds of the instrument was installed in March 1963 and the remaining portion completed in June 1966. The organ is installed in about equal displays of unenclosed and enclosed pipework on symmetrical corner platforms above the rear gallery of the church. Direct electric action in organ and console allows movement of the console to any part of the gallery floor for special occasions. Barry Sidell, organist and choirmaster, assisted the builder in the design. -Jeff Scofield
