Notes: At some time after Skinner was contracted in 1926 to make additions as Op. 481-A, other additions were sub-contracted to Aeolian-Skinner – namely the "Mixture" stops on the Great as well as the Pedal Trombone.  It is supposed that the contractor was Stanley Williams.

In 2002, Austin completed the restoration of the organ, which had been damaged by the Northridge earthquake in 1994.  The only change made by Austin was the "replacement of the combination action and switching systems with solid-state equipment."  Turner Organs restored the console.
