Notes
2016-04-04 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Jim Lewis, based on personal knowledge of the organ.<br><br>Designed by Archer Gibson -Database Manager
2021-08-13 - According to *The Aeolian Pipe Organ and its Music* by Rollin Smith, the contract was signed May 17, 1916 for a cost of $50,500.00. It was shipped July 23, 1917.
The property was subsequently owned by Michael Drinkhouse (1940's); Harry Waxman (1960); and Temple Sharray Tefila in 1980.
In June 1996, the organ was offered for sale through the Organ Clearing House. In October 2017, the console was in possession of Nelson Barden. AS of 2018, the pipework was still in the chambers. -Jim Stettner
2021-08-13 - From the Half Pudding Half Sauce website (https://halfpuddinghalfsauce.blogspot.com/2013/02/shallow-brook-farm-estate-of-j-c.html ), *The musical equipment of the room comprises a great organ and choir organ at one end, with an echo organ at the other, and an antiphonal organ, placed beneath the floor and opening into the room through the spaces under the stalls around the walls. All are played from the console, located in front of the door to the garden terrace, and their tone is not only greatly helped by the construction of the room itself, but is also aided by the apsidal crowning of the niche, in which the large organ is placed, at the principal end.* -Jim Stettner
