DETAILS
A history on the church's website mentions that the organ was renovated in 1940.
Andrew Henderson on August 15th, 2025:
This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified through online information from Andrew Henderson (August 14, 2025): From The Brussels Post (May 13, 1915): "The organ case is very neatly finished in black ash, polished and fills the whole width of the choir gallery. The speaking front pipes are 33 in number, decorated in plain gold. Price of organ was $1200. The instrument was built to order and was installed by Edward Lye & Sons, Toronto, who have been in this work for nearly 50 years and have at present in use in Toronto about 80 organs, large and small, as well as several hundred in Ontario and the West. It was Arthur Lye of the quartette of brothers, who exhibited the organ at the recital Monday evening. He was organist in one of the city churches for years and is a most agreeable and genial gentleman."
