Notes

2023-07-26 - This entry represents the installation of a stored and previously electrified organ. Identified from the Luley website. Years of storage, water damage, and corrosion rendered the organ ineligible for cost-effective restoration to its original mechanical action. The casework and keydesk were restored, a new replica pedalboard was built, and the terraced stopjambs were reinstated. New electro-mechanical windchests replaced the originals. -Jim Stettner
