Database Manager on June 24th, 2016:
Updated through online information from Joe O'Donnell. <br>Site of original installation still unknown. Installed in the newly built St. Francis Xavier Church in Moundsville, West Virginia in 1917, presumably by A.B. DeCourcy. See database entry 361 for further details. Manual chests were retabled and stops rearranged. Additions take advantage of preparations for jump slides made by previous owner. The main regulator, pedal windchests and and pedal key action are new. Some case panels and ornaments had to be recreated. The "hand illustrations" on the front pipes are original - a new background color was painstakingly painted around them.
