Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- in 2016, the Bond firm of Portland installed a used, rebuilt Wicks console fitted with a new Syndyne operating system and combination action. The stoplist was modified in this work.

Database Manager on March 18th, 2007:
Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The original Morton was a 2/6. The organ has been added-to over the years. As of Feb. 1, 1990, it had 11 independent registers, 37 speaking stops, 11 ranks, and 719 pipes. That 16' Bourdon/Bass Flute is from the original Morton. The 4' Harmonic Flute said to be Skinner. The Great 2' Fifteenth is Jardine. The 8' Clarinet is Wicks. Which rank(s) is (are) Hook & Hastings is not known to this author. The Great and Swell share one common chamber, but there are some ranks that are indigenous to only one manual division - such as the Great 2' Fifteenth & 8' Clarinet; and the Swell 8' Voix Celeste and 8'Trumpet/4' Clarion.

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004:
