The organ is in a front gallery above the pulpit platform, and the console is in a 
very small space attached to the C side of the organ.  It was apparently rebuilt at 
the time of its installation in the Mission, and the case modified, as several 
painted pipes can be seen on offset chests behind the present case.  The organ is no 
longer [1956] used regularly downstairs (!) and is deteriorating.  The pipes are 
covered with a film of grease from the kitchen directly downstairs.  [sic]
