In addition there are chimes and a harp stop. The entire organ is enclosed in a single swell box.
The right hand setterboard drawer has two levels, as shown in the picture. The upper level slides to the rear to access the lower level.

An original installation. Identified by Stan Williams, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
This organ is located in in a chapel on the grounds of an historic retirement community. There is no entry for "retirement community" when choosing locations so this may be the only historic pipe organ in a retirement community in the country. Would like to know from knowledgeable people if this is the case.
