Notes

2022-12-16 - The instrument was installed in the original (1878) building of the church. According to the contract the organ cost $1,685 and that a "small pipe organ now in church to be taken by Lye & Sons at a valuation of $75 to be deducted from above purchase price." The case was to be "of chaste design" in chestnut, finely finished, front speaking pipes decorated in plain gold, the case to be 10 feet wide, 15 feet high at centre pipe, 5 feet 6" deep not including keyboard and organ bench. The instrument may have been rebuilt/electrified and moved to the new church at 120 Fennell Avenue, which was opened in 1956. The church was closed in 2019. -Andrew Henderson
