Notes
2008-09-17 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a renovation of the church's existing 1859 Wm. A. Johnson, Opus 92 - which was previously altered in 1947 by Joseph W. Smith. Source: extant organ documented July, 1988. -Database Manager
2010-06-05 - Updated through on-line information from George NELSON. -- Parish built new worship center building in 1990s and it is used for regular services. The 1858 building is now used mostly by church youth group, and for special services such as weddings, funerals, etc. Organ was padlocked when visited. -Database Manager
2022-10-26 - The organ was moved from the rear of the room in 1900 and apparently the changing of the stop knobs and the altering of the manual compass took place at that time. The Johnson stop names were quite different. The original manual compass was GGG-g3, 61 notes, the Great Stopped Diapason Bass, Principal, Twelfth, Fifteenth and Swell Stopped Diapason Bass beginning at GGG. The Pedal had 17 narrow keys beginning at CCC, the higher keys acting back on the lowest of the 13 pipes. The present clavier was installed by Joseph W. Smith in 1947 and the Pedal stop was extended to 27 pipes by Mr. Noack. The recent restoration included much new action, new Pedal chests, and a careful preservation of the original voicing. -- *1968 OHS Handbook* -Paul R. Marchesano
