2021-11-30 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: The present church was revised and enlarged in the 1920s at which time the E.M. Skinner Organ Company of Boston installed their Opus 355 (1922) of three manuals and pedals. The Skinner contract, dated February 18, 1922, states that the organ would cost $19,660 and would be completed and installed on or about August 1, 1922. Skinner installed the organ in the existing chamber on the north side of the chancel. Specifications for this organ were also recorded by Lynnwood Farnam (1885-1930), noted concert organist of the early 20th century, who kept "organ notebooks" with details of various organs he played or visited. Farnam indicated that there was also a Swell to Pedal Reversible, which may have been added at a later time. The Farnam notebooks are now in the library of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. -Jeff Scofield
