Notes

2004-10-30 - The original builder was George Stevens (1871). -Database Manager

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

2023-10-09 - As part of the 1996 restoration, the facade pipes were beautifully restored with their original design, by Kristen Farmer, using colors found in the stained glass windows on either side of the imposing black walnut case. The organ as restored by Bozeman, added a bass to the Great Trumpet which defies detection as half-length, but left the 1963 Andover tonal changes intact. -Scot Huntington
