2022-08-11 - For this new edifice, M.P. Möller of Hagerstown, Maryland provided their Op. 1071 of four manuals and 40 ranks,[sic] including a high-pressure unified Tuba, enclosed Swell, Choir and Solo organs, and three celeste registers. The $10,000 contract of December 4, 1909 stipulated swift completion by April 1, 1910. A codicil to the contract allowed $450 towards the purchase price in consideration of taking old pipes (perhaps from the Marklove), providing a set of Cathedral Chimes, and maintaining the organ in its first year at no cost. As it happened, the organ was not shipped from Hagerstown until January 13 and 14, 1911, due to construction delays in Cleveland. The elaborate architect-designed facade was given as a memorial to Samuel Augustus Fuller by his children. Edward V. Clarke, apparently a regional Möller representative and perhaps an installer, drew the stoplist and set out several conditions: for example, the chambers were “to be lined with Cabot’s Soundproof Quilt,” and string ranks were to be of 90 percent tin. -- *2009 OHS Atlas* -Paul R. Marchesano
