I photographed this organ Feb 2016 when I was called to inspect the organ. This 3-man Austin has/had a lot of original pipework from 1913 and Austin had made some additions in the 1980s or 1990s. The organ was playable but in mediocre shape at that time. The Cornell Zimmer company built a new console and did tonal work and digital additions around 2018.
