Notes
1. This specification is derived only from the surviving Möller layout drawings (now in the files of Schantz 
Organ Company); other borrows not apparent from these drawings probably existed.

2. The organ was designed by Mr. Prower Symons “especially to accompany women’s and children’s voices,” 
according to an old pamphlet about the chapel.

3. The organ was installed in two transept chambers.  In the left (behind Möller’s non-speaking 
quartersawn oak façade of 60 pipes) stood the Great, Swell, and Choir arranged on two levels.  The 
right chamber (behind a wood grille) is limited to the second floor level; it contained the Ancillary 
organ and the two Pedal 16’s installed horizontally.

4. This instrument was removed by Julian Bulley of Toledo Pipe Organ Company, Dayton, Ohio in 1976 
or 1977.

5. Schantz Organ Company replaced this organ in 1977 with a III/28, its #1449, with the 1929 Möller 
façade remaining.  Schantz also retained the seven largest pipes of the 16’ Open Diapason and 
capped them for use as the 32’ Untersatz #6-12.

6. The chapel was designed by Ralph Adams Cram and was dedicated on St. Barnabus' Day, 
June 11, 1929.
