This was a rebuild with additions to 1928 Austin Op. 1621 that Austin rebuilt and added to in 1970; n 2010, Foley-Baker, Inc. of Tolland, Conn., completed the rebuilding of the previous Austin organ. Twenty-one new ranks of pipes were added to eleven ranks from the old organ that were retained and revoiced for the new tonal design. Foley-Baker installed new electro-pneumatic slider windchests for the Great and Swell divisions and new electro-pneumatic unit chests for the Pedal stops. The two chamber openings have new façades of speaking display pipes comprised of notes 1-17 of the Great 8' Principal (transept) and notes 1-17 of the Pedal 8' Principal (chancel). Foley-Baker also provided a new movable, two-manual drawknob console of walnut with a mahogany interior. The manual keyboards have tracker touch. Todd Wilson played the inaugural concert on Saturday, September 25, 2010, and the organ was formally dedicated the following afternoon with Bishop Roskam presiding.
