2023-06-16 - Considering the stature and means of those who summered there, Saratoga was an ideal place for any organbuilder to place a prominent instrum.ent. A businessman with the savvy of Matthias P. Moller (1855-1937) knew to jum.p on such an incentive. Just five days later, on May 20, the contract was signed for a three-manual Duplex Concert Theatre Organ costing $6,700, to be delivered on or before July 15, 1919. Source: MS, Contract: May 20, 1919. M.P. Moller and Edgar T. Brackett; and "Orgn in the New Theatre," S 50, no. 122 (May 24, 1919), 5. via *2006 OHS Organ Atlas* -Paul R. Marchesano
2023-06-16 - The organ remained in the Congress Theatre until sometime during the late 1950s, when it was apparently broken up for parts. Some of it ended up in a composite organ assem bled for St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Saratoga. -- *2006 OHS Organ Atlas* -Paul R. Marchesano
