Notes

2023-01-18 - Further research is needed to determine the ancestry of organs in this large and elegant brick building dating from the middle of the 19th century. The organ built on the unit principle which was a Delaware speciality, is disposed front and center behind the choir pews, with a facade of Principal basses behind a decorative center screen. The organ was part of a major updating of the historic chancel in the post-War colonial imitation style, and the Delaware company built the chancel furniture and furnishings in addition to the organ and its spartan modernist-colonial facade. The organ was subsequently rebuilt by the Parson Organ Co. of neighboring Canandaigua in 1998. -Scot Huntington

2023-01-19 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. -Jim Stettner
