Transplanted note from duplicate entry. Scot Huntington on April 16, 2022:
This organ is known from the William King work list compiled by King researcher Dr. Donald R.M. Patterson, and published in The Tracker XVI:4:1972.
Built by William King ca. 1872, it was rebuilt by Tellers-Sommerhoff in 1912, and then rebuilt again by R. Wilson Ross of Elmira and Pine City in 1965. The present state of this organ is unknown.
