Notes: The organ had two consoles. In 1955, the organ and one of the consoles was sold to First Presbyterian Church, Royal Oak, MI, and installed by Casavant with additions. Schantz added a new console in 1975, and there was further work and additions by Moller on three occasions. It is now a 3/45.
