NOTES
Three manuals, 22-stops, and Pedal Bass (no pipes-later altered-from Great
Double). 1400 pipes (number given in proposal-but actually somewhat more).
In rear gallery-case in Lyre form by Maximilien Godefroy, architect of church.
Replaced (there seems to have been a fire) in a newly rebuilt gallery in 1847
by a three-manual 37-stop Appleton and Warren.
This was replaced in newly reconstructed interior of church by an 1893 Henry
Niemann two manual 25-rank organ (with Barker Lever) given by Baltimore
philanthropist Enoch Pratt. It is still in regular use (with three additions
using Niemann pipes) and is greatly appreciated by the congregation.
