Notes: The console was in very good shape, but the music rack had been
re-done after a fashion.
There was a large two-manual Möller in the gallery of the lofty gothic nave,
but there was no opus number on the console and the staff on hand at the time
of the visit didn't seem to know its origin.
The church is now known as St. Matthew's & St. Joseph's Episcopal Church.
