2021-07-31 - The console was placed in a gallery for the choir whilst the main body of hte organ was installed on the floor of the chapel, "an arrangment requiring a great deal more machinery than usual." The organ was described as compact because of limited space. "The organ is very steady in tone and each pipe speaks remarkably quick." -- from *Philadelphia Ledger*, 18 March 1857 -Paul R. Marchesano
