2022-01-05 - This entry represents a major rebuilding of an existing organ. The existing casework was modified. The center flat of the facade was replaced with dummies and cut-down after the organist at the time expressed concern over hiding the view of the stained glass window behind the organ. All new Wicks Direct-Electric windchests were installed. Some of the original pipework was retained. A new console was included in the work. The organ had received a new 1/2 hp blower in 1925 from Kilgen. And subsequent tonal additions were made by Kilgen in 1932 and a larger replacement blower installed in 1933. A new console was also provided later by Kilgen. -Jim Stettner
