Notes

2021-11-23 - Built by Charles E. Haskell, and appeared in a February, 1917 listing published in *The Diapason *by the firm. A photo of a plain pipe facade with gold-painted pipes is visible in a sanctuary photo. A solid panel in teh center of the case may be where the original console was located. -Paul R. Marchesano

2023-06-30 - 4 rank Wicks installed behind the Haskell facade in the late '60's/early '70's. Family friend attended that church, and in the early '70's, they wanted the organ in the balcony, so the console was moved to the balcony, and a new, very long cable was purchased which connected the console to the pipes still located behind the Haskell facade. I played two weddings at this church, one in the early 1980's, one in 2019. Very difficult to balance the organ with the pipes in the front of the church and the soloist in the balcony next to the organist. -Jack W Umholtz
