Database Manager on November 02, 2012:

This is a rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in The American Organist, November 2012. -- Extensive rebuild and enlargement after church's Kimball pipe organ was damaged by fire, c. 2007. A used console from 1928 was purchased and refurbished by Bruno Lagarce, who also constructed the new facade. The Choir division and several Pedal stops are Walker digital. Tonal finishing was by Steuart Goodwin and Ryan Ballantyne.
