Updated through online information from J.T. Ellenberger. -- This organ was originally a Möller, to which Austin added a Great Division and used the Möller Great and Swell chests for Positiv and Swell Divisions. The Console was from an Austin organ built in 1933 for a Methodist Church in Danville, Virginia.
