1921 - This was taking from the 2021 documentary of the Pullman house. I took it from my camera as it played on YouTube. The organ looks like a player organ. (Photograph from an archival source: The Pullman Project, submitted by Mike Cierski/Mike Cierski)

Notes

2016-06-12 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by James R. Stettner, using information from this web site: http://glessnerhouse.blogspot.com/2012/03/pullmans-of-prairie-avenue.html. <br><br>The source website states, "The massive house measured 70 by 108 feet, containing more than 7,000 square feet per floor. The entire exterior was clad in Connecticut brownstone, including the large porte cochere along 18th Street. No expense was spared in its construction and only the finest woods and other materials were used in its decoration. Huge public rooms were constructed to house the elegant and large-scale entertainments the Pullmans planned. Amenities included a 200-seat theatre, billiard room, bowling alley, pipe organ and much more." -Database Manager
