Notes

2009-06-12 - Identified through online information from George Nelson. -- Organ was built in 1841 by Henry Crabb for Washington Square Reformed Dutch Church, New York City, N.Y. It was a 3-manual instrument. It was rebuilt there by Richard M. Ferris in 1854. As rebuilt it contained 3 manuals, 24 ranks, 22 stops. It was placed center front in the Ocean Grove Auditorium and served until replaced in 1908 by the Hope-Jones organ. -Database Manager

2012-01-17 - Updated through online information from Christopher Flynn. -- I am the current building manager for the Auditorium, and have authored two books on the history of Ocean Grove. It is my understanding this organ was moved to the Ocean Grove Youth Temple, after the purchase and installation of the Hope-Jones organ in 1908. -Database Manager
