Updated through online infrmation from Ian Mason: The congregation's first pipe organ was installed in 1885 at a cost of $3,000, the entire cost being paid by the Ladies' Aid Society. (pg. 15) "In the autumn of 1907, the organ was enlarged at a cost of $3,000, with the addition of a choir organ and extended console, the whole being made tubular pneumatic. This addition was made under the direction of the organist and choir master, Mr. John Crane."

This entry represents the rebuilding and enlargement of an existing organ. Identified through online information from Ian Mason. Karn-Warren enlarged the organ to 3-manuals with the addition of a Choir division, and the playing action was converted to tubular-pneumatic.
