Updated through online information from George Nelson. -- Building damaged during severe thunder storm in 2004 when landmark stone tower and steeple fell through the sanctuary roof. Organ was not damaged, only dirtied. It was removed by Colin Walsh and later reinstalled. I do not know what work was done other than removal, cleaning & reinstallation.
