Updated through online information from Thomas R. Thomas. -- The C.E. Morey tracker from the original building was electrified by Skinner and playable from the console as an Antiphonal located on the rear balcony. A second 4 manual console was in the Atrium and shades in tower opened to the outside, so that the organ could be heard in the cloister. Was replaced in 1970 by an 80 rank Schlicker; that organ replaced in 2001 by an Austin with 2 four manual consoles and complete Gallery and Chancel organs. The Skinner was moved to a church in the Bahamas minus the 16' Wood Open used by Schlicker as a 32' Bourdon.
