Database Manager on April 1st, 2015:
A fire on August 7, 1993 destroyed the console and the organ sustained smoke damage. The organ was cleaned and restored; a new 5-manual console was built by Guilbaut-Therien; James A. Konzelman installed a new MultiSystem relay and switching system, as well as making significant tonal changes; the organ now has 138 ranks.
