DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Updated through online information from Michael P McCarthy. -- It is believed this instrument was installed c. 1902, perhaps after the death of Henry Niemann, in which case it was likely installed by his son Frank, who continued his father's business until about 1908. During the 1950s the church suffered a major fire, resulting in water damage to the original tracker action. At that time, Lewis & Hitchcock, Inc. replaced the tracker mechanism with electro-pneumatic action. L&H also added an 8' Diapason rank to the pedal, which stands at rear of the organ.
Database Manager on May 22nd, 2014:
An original installation. Identified by Michael P. McCarthy, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
