2005-11-20 - Updated through online information from David M Storey. -- Organ suffered severe misgiuded attempts to make it a baroque instrument. It has numerous ranks from unknown sources. Summer of 2005 the remaining double rise reservoir and wind system were destroyed and replaced with a small box bellows and plastic hose. Despite the butchery, the organ remains and continues to function. 3 sided oak case, Diapason in facade, construction style similar to Stein and Roosevelt though execution is not as good. -Database Manager
