Statement of Significance
A two manual organ of 23 speaking stops built in 1891 by Fincham & Hobday, Richmond, at a cost of 895 pounds. In 1900, it was moved forward in its gallery and the console placed on the floor beneath, necessitating the installation of one of the longest actions of its type in Victoria. In 1985 the console was resited in the organ gallery and the extended actions removed; a major restoration was completed in 1996. This is one of the largest Fincham organs of its period to survive substantially intact and is notable for its extensive swell organ of 12 stops, its fine gallery setting, imposing casework and intricately decorated facade pipes.
