DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
From the published parish history (1903-1969): "The church was closed in the fall of 1914 for a short time to permit the installation of the organ, a two manual Karn Warren of the pneumatic type built in Woodstock, Ontario, one of the best and finest available at the time. A new heating system was installed also, and the choir loft improved. The Anniversary and re-opening of the church were celebrated on November 22, 1914."
Jim Stettner on November 1st, 2023:
This entry represents the original installation of a new organ. Identified from a related OHS Database account for the relocated organ, still serving the same congregation in a new location.
