Notes
2013-11-30 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by William Dunklin, using information found in a vintage post card.
-- Case designed by the chapel's architects. The Hutchings-Votey organ was removed in the mid-1960's though the case [with modified facade] was retained for the replacement organ. -Database Manager
2022-01-31 - The organ was installed as part of the new chapel building. From the Vassar website: "The Vassar Chapel, built in 1904 as a home for religious life on campus, represents a component of Vassar education from the college’s founding." -Paul R. Marchesano
