2023-02-10 - On September 21, 1922, a contract was signed between the Skinner Organ Company of Boston, Massachusetts, and the E.L. Lenox Piano Co., 237 North Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, for a new two-manual organ, opus 385, for Sullivan's residence at 1545 North Meridian Street, to be completed by March 1, 1923. George 0. Kingsbury signed on behalf of the builder. The $7,725.00 cost was amplified by $1,150.00 for the Harp/Celesta in a codicil dated February 19, 1923. (The agreement does not state on which divisions the addition played.) The instrument was expected to be a den1011strator for potential residence-organ custon1ers. Stop control was by knobs above Manual II. Manual compass was sixty-one notes (CC-c4); pedal compass was thirty notes (CC-fl). -- 2007 OHS Atlas -Paul R. Marchesano
