Updated through online information from Scott Crowell. -- Organ badly damaged by Hurricane Hugo. It was replaced by a 3-manual, 54-rank Wicks organ (Opus 6200) in 1990.
Database Manager on August 31st, 2011:
Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- This was either a new organ or a rebuild of 1911 4-manual Möller Op. 1163; the Pilcher later received a 3-manual Möller console; at the time of my visit on April 21, 1992, the organ was a 3/56 and had a new Wicks console; this could have been a rebuild like many in the city that were damaged by Hurricane Hugo in 1989.
