Database Manager on October 30, 2004:

This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Idntified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was located in a right-side chamber where the nave narrows to form the chancel. The chamber had 3-sectional facades of gold-painted pipes on both the nave and chancel sides. The console was attached on the nave side of the chamber. Stops were controlled by the Haskell miniature keyboard placed over the Swell manual - and so often seen on early Estey organs. In chancel. Pneumatic stop action.
