Notes

2014-03-03 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in Radzinsky, 1910. -- Replaced in 1913 by Ernest M. Skinner. -Database Manager

2019-12-27 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: In 1893, a new organ was built by the J.H. & C.S. Odell Company of New York City, replacing the earlier Jardine instrument. This organ, like its predecessors, employed water power. A steam engine pumped water to a tank located above the old E. Howard & Co. clock in the steeple on the tower level. As the water flowed down by gravity to a basement cistern, the feeders of the bellows were operated. -Database Manager
