Updated through online information from Terry Jensen.

Database Manager on July 5th, 2007:

Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is installed in the front, left corner of the sanctuary, and has ornately stenciled facade pipes on the front and right sides. There are actually three "short-compass" stops. The Great 8' Dulciana is grooved to the bass of the 8' Melodia. The Swell 8' Violin Diapason and 8' Salicional are both grooved to the bass of the 8' Std. Diapason.

In 1960, when the organ was moved to this building, the facade pipes were repainted to their original patterns by June Townsend.
