2013-02-12 - Updated through online information from Ken Mensing. -- The organ was removed early after the mansion was acquired in 1948 by the Pennsalt Chemical Corporation (today part of ATOFINA) who transformed the building into a research laboratory. It was sold to a Baptist church in Virginia, where it was used for about 30 years. Sadly, the church was destroyed by a fire in the 1970-s. The fire allegedly started in the organ pipe chamber. -Database Manager
