Database Manager on October 30, 2004:

The first known modifications were the addition of an electric blower in 1943. Also at that time the Mixture II was removed and was replaced with a tremolo.

In 1975 Francican priest, Alfred Schendel removed the tremolo and replaced the Mixture II with some misc pipes

In 2008 - 2009 the following work was done by Joseph Rulli of Summerhill, PA * bellows were releathered * hand pumping mechanism was restored * additional swell shades were added * pipes were cleaned and fitted with new tunimg slides * a badly damaged Dulciana was replaced with a Tierce * the two rank mixtue was replaced with the Mixture from the Moller Artiste in Davidsville, PA
