Unknown - Church Exterior (Vintage Postcard, courtesy of T. Bradford Willis, DDS (1914)/Database Manager)
Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2007-10-11 - Identified through on-line information from Stephen Hall. -- No longer in place, presumed destroyed or dispersed. Facade pipes and casework still in place with Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1510 located behind it. The church was built in 1890 by Henry Flagler as a memorial to his daughter who died in childbirth. Flagler spared no expense in the construction, and presumably the organ would have been at least 50 stops. The organ was high in a gallery in the left transept. (The chancel is in this transept, the area that is normally the chancel is a chapel that also functions as overflow seating). The organ was enlarged to four manuals in 1927 by Estey. The organ was replaced in 1970 by Aeolian-Skinner Opus 1510, although the original facade pipes and case work were retained as a screen to the new organ. -Database Manager
