DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
The console remained set into the case as the original Ridges organ [similar to the Walcker in Boston on which this organ's case was inspired]. The console was only detached when Kimball did major rework at the behest of organist John J. McClellan, in 1900-1901.
