Updated through online information from David Lewis.
Database Manager on September 1st, 2007:
Identified through online information from David Lewis. -- Rebuild of 1903 tubular Steere. Organ functions on original pneumatic chests which now have Organ Supply primary action units. Original stoplist augmented by addition of an 8' Clarinet to the Swell and a Mixture III to the Great. These ranks are installed on exposed chests on each side of the chancel arch. Of the original stops, all but the 8' Diapason appear to be in the Swell box. The original console was built into the case. The Reuter replacement console is centered in the choir loft and has a plate, "Robert F. Beeston, Organ Builder, Des Moines, Iowa". The organ is in good repair and played every Sunday.
