The case of this instrument is finished and is exhibited in the front building. It measures 15 feet in height and is fill gothic style, the work certainly of the most beautiful and skillful description. The music has not yet been fairly tried. The works are managed by two rows of keys. with pedal swell. It will be erected in the church in a few weeks." -Database Manager
