Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Installed in the rear gallery. Exposed Great and Pedal around the rose window. Swell, choir, and Solo in chambers on both sides. Each chamber has a chest with exposed pipes in front of it. I got to play this organ in 1994 when I was installing the Balcom and Vaughan at North Park University, and it was quite an impressive installation. It has undergone some tonal changes.
