Updated through on-line information from Ray Ahrens. -- According to church history, two-manual console replaced in 1947 with new three-manual theatre-styls console, but third manual division (Choir) never added. Church became a Latino mission Lutheran church about a year ago. Organ is rarely used. Building is shaped like the letter "L" in reverse. Pipes are at the top, console is in the 90 degree corner at same balcony level.
