Notes: The original organ was Johnson Op. 823 installed in 1895. Holtkamp rebuilt t he organ in 1940 as the Barnes Memorial Organ. Aeolian-Skinner made "judicious reuse of some ranks" for Op. 1321. Casavant added a Trompette en Chamade in 1978, which has since been removed. The instrument was altered in 1985.
