DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was the addition of an Echo division and a few other additions to the organ installed the previous year (1911) in the new edifice. In 1930, the church did a sanctuary renovation, and Austin moved the organ from a free-standing position to divided chambers on either side of the chancel. This was done without any tonal changes.
