Database Manager on January 8th, 2009:
Identified through information posted to OHS Members List by Scot Huntington January 7, 2009: -- "The organ reused pipework from Johnson & Son op. 696, 1888 (2 manuals and pedal). When I was organist there in the 1970s, an oldster in the congregation remembered the old Johnson, and thought the organ came around 1938. The church is high Anglican, but not Anglo-Catholic. The organ facade and console exhibit stylistic similarities to the organ at St. James Anglican in Cleveland. The organ had 11 ranks, 13 stops on pitman chests. In 1963 Walter Holtkamp Jr. added an unenclosed 4 stop, 5 rank Positive which was controlled through coupler tablets formerly used for octave couplers."
