Notes
The organ is installed in the rear gallery of the church on the central axis. It is housed in free-standing box enclosures.
 
The Swell 8' Viol Celeste, 4' Flauto Traverso, 8' Cornopean, and 8' Vox Humana were all missing their top 12 pipes (notes 62-73) during this author's visit on Nov. 11, 1989.  The Unison Off and the combination action were also not working.
