2021-11-16 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project, Steve Lawson: In 1956, the Aeolian-Skinner Company was contracted to rebuild the Ernest M. Skinner organs in the Great Choir, Potter Chapel and Huntington Chapel. The organ in Huntington (later renamed St. Ansgar) Chapel was enlarged to 18 ranks. After several decades of service the organ became unplayable. In December 2001, the unfinished north transept was destroyed by fire, causing tremendous smoke damage to the entire cathedral. All of the organs in the cathedral were silenced until they could be removed, cleaned and restored. The organ in St. Angar Chapel was rebuilt in 2011 by Douglass Hunt, curator of the cathedral organs, and includes a new console by Harris Organs, Inc., of Whittier, Calif. -Jeff Scofield
