Jim Stettner on October 7th, 2025:

This entry represents the original installation of a new organ. Confirmed by Jeff Dexter of the Schantz Organ Co. The organ was built for and installed when the edifice was the Presbyterian Church. It was later sold and became the Trinity Episcopal School for Ministry, and later become Trinity Anglican Seminary.

It appears the original 1923 console was en fenêtre. In 1954, Schantz provided a new two-manual and pedal stop-key console. The 1954 cabinet and ivory manual keyboards were retained in the 2025 project. An interesting inclusion in the organ was a 49-note Koehler/Lieblich harp stop. The harp was restored for the 2025 project as well.
