2020-11-19 - Vestry minutes (1888) June 12: - Vestry considering the replacement of the present "double quartet" choir, which sings in the organ gallery, with a men and boys choir to sing on the ground floor near the chancel. - Also considering the replacement of the organ console from the gallery to nearby the chancel via an electrical connection [that didn't occur until March 1892, probably due to the transition period between the Rev. Davies and the Rev. Vibbert, followed by the latter's sudden resignation]. Vestry minutes (1892) March 8: - Console and choir moved from the organ gallery to the nave near chancel [the organ had by now crowded out the console]. - Charles S. Haskell of William Haskell Co. * rebuilds, electrifies, and adds fourth manual to the organ for $8,000 (first electric-action organ in the church). * The company was actually identified in Gopsill's City Directory for 1892 as "Haskell Bros., 1520 Kater St.," and besides Charles, consisted of William H., George W. and Henry J. Haskell. -Paul R. Marchesano
2020-11-19 - Roberts' history of the church: (1911) A choir organ was placed in a brick-lined vault specially created underneath the choir stalls; the sound rose through iron grates beneath the seats. (1919) H.C. Haskell [sic] of William Haskell Co., a Philadelphia organ maker, removed many parts of the Standbridge organ for repairs. [The source of the problem was probably the choir organ in the vault beneath the choir stalls since water was seeping into the space after rainfall.] Vestry Minutes (1921) March 8: H.C. Haskell, the organ maker, has refused to return the organ pipes taken out for repair in 1919 due to a contract dispute. -Paul R. Marchesano
