2022-10-26 - The organ originally stood partly in the recess now occupied by the window behind the pulpit platform. It was moved to the right corner by Hook & Hastings late in the nineteenth century and the side paneling was extended to the rear. The only other changes were the removal of the inner set of horizontal Swell shades and the installation of labels for the combination pedals. The Pedal is on one slider chest; the black walnut case displays nineteen Gr. 8' Principal basses. -- *1968 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
