Notes

2016-02-12 - The main organ is located in the [liturgical] west gallery, with the console and Chancel organ in the south transept gallery; the Echo organ is high up in the north transept. On either side of the west window are two cases that contain large non-speaking metal pipes which are believed to be from the 1854 Erben organ. The Chancel division plays the 5-stop Hilborne L. Roosevelt organ, Op. 53 (1879).<br> <br> A plaque on the console states, "NEW ORGAN ERECTED TO COMMEMORATE THE GOLDEN JUBILEE OF OUR HIGH ALTAR 1870-1920 AND THE PASTORATE OF THE RIGHT-REVEREND PATRICK J. HAYES, D.D., AUXILIARY BISHOP OF NEW YORK, 1915-1919." -Database Manager
