2016-02-03 - Aeolian's Opus 1144 was original built in 1910 (with several additions in 1914) for the F. W. Woolworth Residence at 990 Fifth Avenue. About 1955, the organ was purchased from the Woolworth Estate for $100,000 and moved to Ansche Chesed Synagogue. By the late 1970s, the organ had become unplayable and it was purchased by Sebastian Glück of New York City who was able to salvage parts for use by owners of other Aeolian organs. -Database Manager
