Notes

2025-04-20 - This entry represents the electrification, rebuilding, and enlargement of an existing organ. Identified through online information from Andrew Henderson (April 19, 2025): From *The Democrat & Chronicle* (November 26, 1924): "The old organ console has been replaced by a modern electro-pneumatic console. The organ itself has been rebuilt and rearranged, under the supervision of C. M. Topliff, organ expert. Several hundred pipes and stops have been added, and the keyboard carried up from 58 to 73 notes." -Andrew Henderson
