DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The unusual three-level design of the church was dictated by the 100'x72' lot size; the church comfortably seats around 2,000.

Updated by William M. Worden, who has heard or played the organ.
The console was located in a choir gallery on the liturgical south side of the chancel below the pipe chamber and behind the grille that extended upward to cover the pipe chamber as well. That gallery was reached through a door at the front end of the public balcony; that arched-top door is visible at right in the photo captioned "Church Interior and Altar."
