Unknown - Church Exterior (Photograph by Lee A. Hanley (1960s)/Database Manager)
2004-10-30 - The last organ to be designed personally by Mr. Holtkamp, Sr. The organ was completely restored in 1993-95. At that time computerized piston and registration memory was added. The organ is in excellent condition and used daily (1996). -Database Manager
2008-09-25 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The Great is on a slider chest. The Swell & Positiv are on E-P pitman chests. The Pedal is mostly pitman but has some E-P unit chests. The Sforzando is actually a hitch-down mechanism...not a traditional toestud. The Positiv Zimbelstern was added later. -Database Manager
