Notes: The organ was first used on Sunday, March 21, 1929; the building, replacing one destroyed by fire on March 13, 1926, had been completed the year before. Around 1960, organ was rebuilt by C. V. Bardon, Inc.; the work included a new console and 'electronic chimes.' The organ was replaced by 3/50 Orgues Letourneau Op. 51 in 1998, retaining only two Pedal ranks of the Skinner.
