Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ was installed in chambers at the front on either side of the altar. Large gold facade pipes were present. One of the two consoles was placed to the right of the altar with the organist facing the congregation. When Balcom and Vaughan rebuilt the organ in 1957 as their opus 640, they added Antiphonal Great and Swell divisions to the organ.
