Database Manager on September 17th, 2008: 
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner.  -- The Swell was from tenor C and likely had an unenclosed Std. Diapason Bass. The Swell shutters were horizontal and operated by hitch-down/ratchet.

Database Manager on October 30th, 2004: 
Rebuilt and enlarged by E. & G. G. Hook & Hastings in 1870. Relocated to Zion Lutheran Church in 1898 by Hutchings.
