Updated by Carl S Zimmerman, naming this as the source of information: Charles McManis\' autobiography, cited in full on OHS Website, pp.319-322.
McManis\' original work was designed by McManis and Jerome Meachen, and approved by consultant Parvin Titus. It incorporated some parts from a previous Hook & Hastings organ (Op.504, 1873). The main organ suffered major damage in 1989 when a tornado knocked a stone pinnacle off the tower to fall through the nave roof into the gallery. McManis rebuilt the organ, altering the stoplist slightly from the original (which is shown below). The full story of this instrument is told (with photos) on pp.122-129 of McManis\' autobiography.
