Updated by Keith S. Toth, listing conversations with this person as the source of the information: David Scribner and George Nelson.
Andrew Carnegie and his corporation provided half of the funding for this Lyon & Healy organ. The parish's members provided the other half. The church has no documentation for this organ (contract, stop list, etc.).
A conjectural stop list based upon other Lyon & Healy organs of the period would be:
Manual (61 notes?):
8' Open Diapason
8' Dulciana
4' Octave
Pedal (30 notes?):
16' Bourdon
One source for this organ states that there were 2 couplers. If so, they were probably Manual to Pedal and Manual Octave.

David Scribner and George Nelson have spreadsheets with listings of Lyon & Healy organ. They both independently provided me with the information on the L&H organ at First Hungarian Reformed Church of Homestead. The organ was removed (destroyed) in the 1950s to make way for a new Baldwin model 5A electronic organ.
