Jim Stettner on February 02, 2023:

This entry represents the rebuilding of an existing organ. Identified through online information from Mark Howell. Further clarification provided by the 2003 application to the U.S. Dept. of the Interior - National Park Service for the historic designation status of the church building, in which the original builder and year [Austin, 1920] are provided as well as the rebuilder and year (Eberhart Company, 1993).

The Austin windchest(s) were retained, but stripped of their Universal Windchest ™ action and converted to a unit playing action.
