Parish of the Immaculate Conception + St. Mary's Church Port Jervis, NY The current church, the parish's second, was completed in 1877. The identity of the first organ is unknown, although legend has it that some of the pipework in the current instrument predates the construction of the church. In the late 1960s, a new electric-action instrument was installed by the Delaware Organ Company of Tonawanda, NY. At that time, the organ comprised twenty-eight ranks, spread across three manuals and pedal. In 2004, the Levsen Organ Company of Buffalo, IA, completed a substantial rebuilding and enlarge¬ment of the organ. This consisted primarily of additional mixtures and reeds, as well as a complete principal chorus in the pedal. The Delaware console was retained, although with substantial revisions and additions. The organ is located in a high central gallery, unimpeded by columns or casework, and now comprises forty-two ranks of pipes.
