Jim Stettner on August 28th, 2025:
This entry represents the installation of a 'new' organ. Identified through an online inquiry to the OHS Archivist staff (August, 2025) and verified from the Wicks opus list. The windchests, console, wind system, etc. are all new. But the original 1860's case was retained as was much of the extant pipework. An enlarged chamber is visible behind the facade, but this may have been added in the 1928 electrification.
