2012-08-15 - Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- The "American Musical Directory," Thomas Hutchinson, New York, 1861 reports "Size of organ--3 banks keys, 42 stops, 2 octaves pedals. Built by Hall & Labagh, in 184-." -Database Manager
2020-12-04 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: The original organ in the present church was built in 1847 by Hall & Labagh of New York City and installed in the rear gallery. (The 1885 Hall & Labagh catalogue erroneously dates the organ as 1848.) It is interesting to note the influence of the 1846 Henry Erben organ for Trinity Church in New York City, including the unusual intermanual octave couplers (not then in common use in American organbuilding), and the inclusion of some unusual stops: the two Stopped Diapasons in the Great, the Cremona in the Swell, and the Mixture in the Choir. -Jeff Scofield
