Notes

2014-07-23 - Contract cancelled; according to the NYC AGO New York City Organ Project, in late October 1933, the church instead purchased (for $6,500) the M.P. Möller organ (1930, Op. 5659) that had been installed in St. Mark's Hospital, New York City, only three years earlier. Due to the Depression, St. Mark's Hospital had struggled financially and declared bankruptcy in 1931. Möller installed the organ "with very few changes" (as Op. 6216) in two chambers located in the balcony on each side of the choir and pulpit platform. -Database Manager
