(Troy, N.Y.) website, no longer active, stated the organ was renovated by the Carey company in 1994. Typical for the small Steere instruments of this period, the Great was enclosed with the Swell with the exception of the Diapason. The organ had mechanical action with tubular-pneumatic pedal. -Scot Huntington
