NOTES
It is believed that the organ was originally free-standing. It had two
manuals, 13-ranks, and employed tubular-pneumatic key and stop action.

The Guenther Organ Co. consisted of electrifying the original chests,
and providing a new console with a slightly enlarged combination action,
and almost full inter- and intra-divisional couplers (no Man. to Ped.
4' couplers). A former Gt. to Ped. reversible function was omitted.
