Updated through online information from Timothy E. Conyers: "In December 1988, the organ tuner reported the instrument still exists either in part or whole at St. Mary's. At that time, I had the opportunity to play the instrument, examine the pipework and assisted in the tuning. The organ was in a rear gallery case with some pipes exposed forming a facade. The console was detached facing the case. I recall the console was very old and the case also appeared to be very old."


Jim Stettner on November 25th, 2023:

This entry represents the reuilding of an existing organ - a 1918 Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling which itself was - at least in-part - a rebuilding of a twice-moved, 1858 E. & G.G. Hook.
