Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1995. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Electrified ca. 1950. Retains Johnson flue pipework, and perhaps some reeds, on new windchests. Original casework and case pipes intact. [Elsworth book indicates that Op. 706 burned 13 May 1889! Could that reference have been confused with the 1886 Johnson Op. 669 at Court Street Methodist?] -Database Manager
