2013-08-03 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Jim Lewis, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The organ had an Æolian roll player located on the top of the drawknob console. The pipework was in a freestanding enclosure with dummy front pipes. Both were on an octagonal gallery overlooking the entrance hall. The Swell had a free-reed 8' Trumpet. -Database Manager
2017-06-07 - The organ was removed from the Francis Smith residence in the late 1920s by the Schoenstein company, rebuilt with a new console and then shipped to Hawaii for installation in Parke Chapel. -Database Manager
