Notes
2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1998 -Database Manager
2004-10-30 - Worked on by Arthur Kohl in 1955. Original reservoir discarded. -Database Manager
2007-10-19 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This stunning Johnson organ is installed in the front right corner of the sanctuary. The facade is 3-sectional with two side flats of 5 stenciled pipes each projecting from the front and side walls of the church, and a center diagonal connecting flat of 17 stenciled pipes which include the first 12 of the Great 8' Open Diapason. The pipes are stunningly colored in black, grey, and maroon with stenciled patterns, gold leaf mouths, gold leaf decorations, and gold leaf banding. The case panels employ a herringbone pattern. Documented October, 1988. -Database Manager
2013-02-15 - Updated through online information from Kevin Bishop. -- Some sources say Arthur Kohl electrified this organ, but that's not true. Also, the organ has never had a tremolo. A new bellows was installed in 1984 -Database Manager
