Updated through online information from David Snyder. -- Originally for First Presbyterian Church Buffalo, relocated by House to St. Stephen's in 1891. I know of no documented work on it by Viner. Viner, on a list, incorporated many House organs under the title Patrons, Viner Organ Company. The entires should be treated with skepticism.
Database Manager on January 12th, 2005:
The pedal board was extended to 27 notes, but there are still only 25 notes in the pedal rank.
