This was a stock three-rank "Artiste" organ installed in a single cabinet/chamber.  This organ was in a smaller chapel at Saint Charles College which became Saint Mary's Seminary College.  The chapel was on the ground floor of a new student residence.  The blower was in the basement which included a static regulator.  The larger chapel (still extant) has a fabulous 1919 Casavant which was restored by the builder a few years ago and received an OHS Citation. This instrument is listed in a separate entry.  After Saint Mary's closed and moved the program to Saint Mary's Seminary (Roland Avenue) in Baltimore.  The entire property became Charlestown Retirement Community.  The fate of the organ is still unknown.  I was a student there from 1969-1971.  The organ was kept in good condition.
