Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1996. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Originally tubular pneumatic. Converted to electro-pneumatic and new console installed in 1952 by Muller Pipe Organ Company of Toledo. The facade pipes (part of which are made up of the low end of the great Open Diapason) are the most elaborate stenciled pipes in the city of Toledo. As of 1993 the organ was no longer playable. In 1996 they have an Allen down on the nave floor. -Database Manager
