Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is in a free-standing case at the front on the left side, and faces across the sanctuary, not into the nave. The first 25 pipes of the Great 8' Open Diapason are in the 3-sectional facade. The first 14 pipes of the Great 8' Gamba are divided on either side in the side facades along with the Pedal Open Diapason. The Great chest is completely diatonically divided, and with each half separated at the extreme sides of the case allowing a generous place to stand for tuning both the Great and the Swell. All Great 8' basses are offset so that nothing over 4' in length is on the chest. The couplers are operated by brass, mechanical finger pistons located in the two manual keyslips. The Pedal 16' Open Diapason - simply labeled "Pedal" - is also actuated by a single brass piston located in the Great keyslip. The organ was restored by Landon Pipe Organs of Temple City, California at an unknown time. Documented May 6, 1994.
