2018-02-26 - Updated by Steven Bartley, naming this as the source of information: The washington Times 4/28/1895 pg2. <br> <br>Article in Washington Times states the interior of the church was to undergo a $30,000 renovation, including a 3 manual organ from Carl Barckhoff of Mendelssohn PA. His Washington agent W. B. Lane was handling the sales contract. the old church organ was being set up in the Carroll Hall. Carroll Hall was a performance space adjacent to St. Patrick's. -Database Manager

2022-08-04 - From - Evening Star 3/16/1907 The organ of St. Patrick's Church was inaugurated with a recital October 7, 1895, that filled the newly completed church with brilliant assemblage. Miss Loulie Boon, who had been the organist of the church for year previous, resigned and married shortly after the new instrument was installed. Prof. Gumsprecht has achieved a distinguished reputation for himself and choir in the years that he has been organist and director- a reputation that will be signally maintained as plans are already maturing to replace the present relatively new organ with one more in keeping with the ecclesiastic splendor of this church. (Could this new larger organ have NOT been purchased? but rather the 1910 Hook organ for the chancel have been installed?) -Steven Bartley
