Notes

2024-07-30 - From The Expositor (September 29, 1893): "The case is antique quartered oak and the pipes gold finished. The whole organ is eighteen feet wide and about ten feet in depth. To make room for it, the old choir stand was lowered level with the church floor and about eighteen inches taken out of the back, bringing the room level with the wall. The organ is furnished with power by the latest improved American motor furnished by the Canada Machinery and Supply company. It is so arranged that the bellows regulate the speed of the motor. The organ was put up by Mr. A. Spencer and the finishers are Charles Reinburg and Paul Mias [?] of Oshawa." -Andrew Henderson
