Paul R. Marchesano on May 21st, 2025:

From guidetags.com, local history website:
"In 1945 St. Andrew's United Church purchased a reconstructed pipe organ from Keates Organ Co. Ltd. in Lucan, Ontario. The new organ had 800 pipes, 650 of which were from the old Steere organ, ranging in different lengths from a few inches to over 16 ft. The organ was originally mechanical action but when it was rebuilt in 1952 in time for the 100th anniversary of the congregation, the action was converted to direct electric. The excellent acoustics of the St. Andrews sanctuary are a lovely complement to this fine instrument."
