Updated through information from David Hufford: --
Information personally obtained from the late Jack Ruhl (organist from c. 1951 to 1991). The Aeolian-Skinner Op. 1255 console was installed to play the Estey organ for a couple-few years until the congregation moved into its present building and installed the present A/Sk organ, built as Op. 1255-A and 1255-B.
