Notes
2023-09-29 - Expansion & Modernization of pre-existing Johnson organ. Replaced by Austin opus 2172 in November, 1952.
Organ design not finalized in contract. Position of console is not finalized. Stop control method is not finalized; listed as "Haskell patent register keys", but with provision for stop knobs if requested by commissioner. One Great division stop not finalized: either 8' Dulciana or extension of Pedal 16' Open Diapason at 8'. -Christian Tedesco
2023-11-14 - Archival photographs from 1950 reveal information about the original console: attached to the case in the traditional style with terraced jambs. This is contrary to the contract which calls for Haskell Patent stop keys. -Christian Tedesco
2023-11-14 - Information from initial contract is not correct. -Christian Tedesco
