Notes: The organ, which replaced a 1917 Hall, was arranged in partial functional display with the Great and Choir speaking from a shallow chamber on the Gospel side of the chancel and the Positiv and Swell on the Epistle side. The Pedal division was in a chamber across the rear of the chancel. The Trompette en Chamade was located beneath the lancet windows at the rear of the nave.

The organ and most of the cathedral were destroyed by a major fire in 1975. Schantz IV/60 Op. 1492 was installed in the rebuilt cathedral in 1978.
