2013-06-16 - An original installation. Identified by Steve Bartley, using information found in <i>Sun Paper</i>, Aug 29, 1842; pg 2, and <i>Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia</i>, pg 251 History - 1891. Corrie is recommended to build for St. Vincent's. -- The Corrie organ was replaced in part by Pomplitz in 1873 using the case and possibly pipes, etc. Again rebuilt or replaced by Niemann in the 1890s. In the 1940s renovation the case front was saved and placed against the gallery wall hiding the speakers of a then new electronic organ. -Database Manager
