DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Updated through online information from John McCraney. -- The following is taken from George W. Williams, ST. MICHAEL'S, CHARLESTON, 1751-1951:
There is a difference in the dates of the original Austin--Williams lists 1910, not 1913. The 1939 work consisted only of converting the pneumatic action to electricity and installing a new console to accommodate the electric conversion. This work was the gift of Mrs. Martha Laurens Patterson, the organist at that time.
Database Manager on December 26th, 2011:
Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- This was a rebuild and electrification of 1913 Austin Op. 308; replaced in 1994 by 3/48 Kenneth Jones.
