DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Following a major rebuilding (or expansion?), of the front of the historic frame church, the John Brown organ was moved from the rear gallery to the front chancel area, presumably free standing and encased, without alteration, and retaining its mechanical action.
As part of yet another rebuilding of the chancel area in 1941, the organ was electrified and slightly enlarged/modified by the Schlicker Organ Co. of Buffalo, New York. The organ was entombed in a single deep chamber on the left side of the chancel, fully enclosed, and retaining virtually all the historic Brown pipework without alteration.
