Notes

2004-12-21 - Information identifying this instrument from the Austin Organs, Inc. web site, accessed December 20, 2004: http://www.austinorgans.com/organ-research.htm. -Database Manager

2023-03-29 - Established in 1814 "for young ladies of means," the school is one of the top girls' prep schools in the country, currently with a $179 million endowment. The write-up in the May 1930 issue of THE DIAPASON doesn't indicate if the organ was in the Auditorium or the Chapel. -Jeff Scofield

2025-02-01 - The Austin is no longer extant at the school. It was removed in the 60s. The only extant organ is the Noack in the Chapel. We currently maintain the Noack and are in the process of cleaning it after a renovation. Information received online from Jared Ovitt on 2025-01-31 -Paul R. Marchesano
