Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This was an electrification and rebuild of the existing 1895 3-manual Johnson & Son tracker, Opus 823. The project was a gift of William H. Barnes in memory of his aunt and uncle. The organ was "some 50 sets" according to Barnes, and much of the Johnson pipework was retained, as was the façade and original stencilled swellbox; Kimball supplied a new console.
