"in a 1934 building. Earlier building had an 1870 Wm. Johnson, Op. 313, 2-22. Organ listed as failing in 2003 and funds were being raised for a restoration. The key failure results from expected deterioration of fine leather materials used in the construction of 622 small bellows that service the pipes"
