Database Manager on November 10th, 2007:
Duplex stoplist typical of many small Skinner organs with players. The organ is still in place, with the two chambers installed behind the Roosevelt facade pipes. The Skinner console is placed where the Roosevelt keydesk was originally, extending behind the Roosevelt facade only slightly. Unfortunately, the organ has mechanical problems owing to deteriorating leather and is barely playable.
