Database Manager on November 09, 2006:

Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- This organ presents something of a puzzle. The Willcox opus list has an entry for 1872 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, but it says Presbyterian Church. The organ pictured on the Trinity website was recessed into a chamber on the right side of the church where the sanctuary narrows to form the chancel. The façade - which was an ornately stencilled pipe fence - faced into the church.
