2019-02-02 - Updated by René Le Grand, who has heard or played the organ. René Le Grand also named this publication as a source of information: «Fondation et développement du Séminaire du Sacré-Cœur de Marie de Halifax, N.-É.», L\'Évangéline, 3 juillet 1931: 17, col. 1 + 2; 18, col. 1 à 3.. <br> <br>For 1919, CASAVANT was wrong in that SHA. There were or is a SH School in Halifax. You made a mention of the HH Seminary and not Academy in your ID 48871. The seminary changed for Holy Heart Theological Institute (catholic) which merged with two theological institutions (anglican and united) to form the Atlantic School of Theology in 1971. The Holy Heart Seminary was destroyed by fire in 1975, maybe with the organ still in the chapel. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic_School_of_Theology) -Database Manager
