Updated through online information from John McCraney. <br>As of November 2016 the church had sent out a request for contributions towards restoration. The estimate is that the complete restoration could cost as much as 1.5 million dollars. According to the flyer, the organ has 50+ ranks.

Database Manager on December 2nd, 2009:
Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The top manual has been at least covered, and possibly removed, and its drawknobs in the left jamb are no longer present. The case, remaining stops, two manuals and pedals, chests, action, and pipework are present - though some of the pipework is missing and some is quite damaged. The church evidently had a fire, and portions of the case have been repainted. The church uses an electronic substitute placed in front of the handsome case. Could still be restored with some effort.
