There is no nameplate on the console. The church records indicate that the organ was installed in 1908 and replaced what is believed to be a one-manual Stevens. Tremolo is not functioning and there is no indication if it is for the Swell or if the whole instrument is affected as the drawknob is located with the Great stops. There is a drawknob for the Bellows Signal, which is inoperative.

Jim Stettner on May 23rd, 2025:
Updated through online information from Rev. Robert Lefebvre, Jr. (May 23, 2025). The organ was tuned for the first time in 3 years for Easter, 2025. During this time, the Tremolo was made operational, and it can only be used on the Swell. It was observed that the drawknob for the Swell Flautino 2' is different from the other drawknobs. It is possible the builder did have enough to match. We thought that maybe there was a different rank at one time to explain the difference, but the technician felt strongly that the Flautino was always in the original scheme of things.
