Updated through on-line information from Trevor Dodd. -- Here's an update after more research: The manual chests are the original Lyon & Healy chests. All pipework is original except the Great principal chorus, Swell mixture and 4' Principal, pedal 8' Octave, 4' Nachthorn, III Mixture, and all reeds except the choir Clarinet.

Database Manager on September 5th, 2007:
Identified through on-line information from Trevor Dodd. -- The organ was originally in the First Congregational Church, but then replaced by the Casavant. It has been altered then neglected quite a bit over the years. It looks like the manual chests were replaced by Casavant ventil chests. The Great Trumpet has disappeared. The pipe racking is not substantial and hasn't been since the installation. Many reed pipes are broken and some diapason and string basses have fallen over. The Pedal division was very severely water damaged a few years back. The pipes and chests are covered in tar, roofing material and rot. Currently the pipe organ is being interfaced with the electronic they have now. The original console and the second (Austin?) console are long gone. The organ has an absolutely MASSIVE pedal reed.
