Notes

2010-05-02 - Identified through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2011-07-08 - Updated through on-line information from David M Storey. -- The stops listed in the stop list as "old" are from Archer Gibson's Aeolian organ. The Casavant organ is currently undergoing cleaning and rebuilding by Casavant assisted by David M. Storey, Inc. No tonal changes are anticipated. The Aeolian Harp is to be retained and retored. Each rank of the Swell Mixture sits on a separate stop action. There are no breaks. Each rank will be controllable individually in the rebuild so mutations will be available in the Swell. The console will be moved to the center of the gallery, out from underneath the casework. -Database Manager

2012-06-14 - Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- "The American Organist, Vol. 46, No. 6 [June 2012]," lists this organ under "Recent Installations," p 86, as having been restored by Casavant. -Database Manager

2012-07-05 - Updated through online information from Paul Binko. -- The organ is a relocation and rebuild of the Aeolian organ built for the Archer Gibson residence, New York City, in 1918 and further enlarged by Aeolian in 1919. -Database Manager
