Updated through online information from James Wyly. -- This organ was owned by me from 1954 to 1976. The 1946 Fradenburg organ of two manuals and eight ranks, which had some Frank Roosevelt components, was completely rebuilt by Charles McManis in 1967 as his opus 67. 1967 was all new except for two Frank Roosevelt ranks in the pedal. Manual chest, which Fradenburg said was 1854 Erben, was retabled and retained. New case.
