Notes

Database Manager on April 30, 2016:

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner.  
According to photos and text posted on Facebook today by free-lance pipe organ technician John Jordan, the organ is two manuals, seven ranks. The stoprail reveals the Swell and Great to be independent from one another.

The Great has 3 ranks and the Swell 4. The inside of the Swell 8' Oboe chest indicates opus 480. But the Concert Flute pipes for the Great are marked 488. The console was originally installed in front proximal to the chamber which is in the front, left corner. The console has been moved to the rear gallery, and appears not to be entirely original. The organ was reportedly rebuilt in the 1970's. Mr. Jordan is about to replace the Great 8' Dulciana with a used 4' Octave acquired from Trevor Dodd.
