Notes

2006-11-10 - Identified through on-line information from Wayne Burcham-Gulotta. -- New Austin console in 1960; significantly altered and enlarged ca. 1970. -Database Manager

2013-07-27 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Steven E. Lawson, using information found in Factory Specification. -- This organ was actually built by Farrand & Votey for Aeolian. -Database Manager

2013-07-30 - Updated through online information from Steven E. Lawson. -- After the Brown residence was sold in 1910, the organ was acquired by W. F. Blackman of Winter Park, Florida, and was later moved to Rollins College in Winter Park, where Blackman had been one of the first presidents. -Database Manager

2013-07-31 - Updated through online information from Steven E. Lawson. -Database Manager

2019-05-07 - Updated by Alan Binger, who maintains the organ. <br> <br>It appears that E.M. Skinner actually built this organ. The windchests and bellows are definitely Skinner. The Windchests are mounted on short dowels - a typical Skinner technique - and are typical Skinner pitman chests. -Database Manager
