Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The main part of the organ is installed behind grills at balcony level along the right wall of the room; Solo and Echo are installed behind façade pipes on each side of the stage; Great, Swell and Choir were installed in 1917 as Pilcher Op. 940, with preparations for future additions; the organ and console were installed all behind the balcony-level grillwork; as part of the 1921 phase (Op. 1061), the Solo and Echo were installed and additions were made to the existing divisions; a second console was added, to be used on the main floor of the room; beginning in 1985, Samuel B. Bowerman, Louisville, KY, repaired and restored the organ; the 1917 console was disconnected and stored on site and the 1921 console was restored and made moveable.
