Notes:
The organ, installed around 1940, replaced a 1904 4-manual Hutchings-Votey Op.
1536. When the church closed, the organ was sold to Robert Turner and 15
ranks went into Op. 762 at First (Munn Avenue) Presbyterian Church, East Orange
NJ. The console went to Our Lady of Sorrows RC Church, South Orange NJ,
where the organ was replaced by a new Schantz.
In 2006, the console went to Sacred Heart RC Church, Pittsburgh, PA, where it
now plays Op. 855; the Op. 855 console had been considerably altered with Allen
parts.
