This entry represents the installation of an essentially new organ, retaining the casework and much of the pipework from the church's 1881 S.R. Warren & Son instrument. But the internal structure, windchests, wind trunking and reservoirs were all new. Some new pipework was included. And a new 3-manual console with pneumatic combination action was also included.
The online .pdf Organ History document on the church website states, "By 1950 it became obvious that either the organ needed to be rebuilt and modernized, or that a new organ needed to be purchased. Casavant Freres Ltee of St. Hyacinthe, QC was initially chosen as a supplier. However, the T. Eaton Co., subsequently offered an acceptable deal and rebuilt the old organ into a three manual electro-pneumatic action organ (Opus 110) in 1951. The organ case was moved forward 18 inches and installation of the new organ was essentially completed November 1951. The rebuilt organ was dedicated to the memory of Mr. Jesse Longfield (organist 1904-1939) at an opening recital given by Dr. Charles Peaker, FRCO on 30 December 1951."
