Notes: The organ was replaced by a Holtkamp in 1966,
retaining five of the Solo stops (Flauto Dolce, Flute Celeste, English
Horn, French Horn
and Orchestral Oboe), plus the old Swell Vox Humana and Choir Clarinet. The
Echo division went to St. Paul's Church, Chestnut Hill. The console was
removed by James McGregor, then curator for the organ; it was sold to Douglas
Pennoyer, Bernardsville, NJ, and then to Robert Lockridge in 1983. Mr
Lockridge renovated the console, replacing the removed combination action,
swell shoes, etc. The color photo above shows the console after the renovation.
