Notes: The organ is installed in the rear gallery.  In a write-up of the organ by Dr. William H. Barnes in the March 1934 issue of The American Organist, he notes that the Viola in the Choir is nearly a Geigen Principal and the Great Gemshorns are tapered Diapasons.
 
The organ was altered (casework) in 1934 and the Chimes were added in 1941 as Op. 908-A.
