DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Between 1930 and the 1960's, various improvements were made to the organ. Tremolo units were added, and a sheetrock wall was installed between the organ's two main divisions, including sets of swell shades. In 1967, a set of Mass-Rowe chimes were given to the church in memory of Mr. Ira Victor King, a long-time member of the Chancel Choir and active leader in the church. The chimes were playable from a separate keyboard attached to the organ. The instrument was extensively rebuilt in 1980 by a Schudi Pipe Organ Company (information supplied by the church's archives).
