The five-stop pedal windchests are the original Odell ventil chests, restored to tracker action.

Database Manager on January 9th, 2017:
Updated by William Worden, the builder. <br>The case was built by the Detroit cabinet maker Wilhelm Mayer.<br>The church is now (2015) known as the Oratory of St. Joseph. The church website has been replaced and no longer contains the information on the organ and the photos referenced in the link to the church website on the database page on the organ. I do not know if the new management will add that material back to the website at a later time.
