Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- This was a project of substantial tonal changes to the existing Laws/Hook & Hastings organ. No mechanical changes were made. The 1928 Laws console, chests, etc. were retained. The organ was replaced with a new Andover tracker in 1989. Documented July, 1988.
