Andrew Henderson on January 25th, 2023:

According to The St. Catharines Standard (October 18, 1911) "The new three-manual organ, a donation of R. W. Leonard to St. Thomas' Church, will shortly be installed. The Queen Street Baptist Church will to-night decide whether they will purchase the organ which will be replaced by this gift. They will likely vote in favor of it, as it is recommended by a majority of officials of the church, the price being very reasonable for so good an organ, and the promise from a Welland church to purchase the organ now in possession of the Baptist Church is another favorable inducement." And from November 29, 1911: "Mr. Franklin Legg's numbers were well selected and shewed off to advantage his own artistic capabilities and the splendid tone of the organ, which was recently installed in that church. The volume is remarkable for the size of the instrument, and the many varieties of effect were demonstrated as possible never before owing to its former enclosed position in St. Thomas' Church." Later an organ builder, C. Franklin Legge (spelling was later regularized) was born in St. Catharines in 1891 and became organist of Queen Street Baptist Church in 1908.
