2016-06-25 - An original installation. Identified by Steve Bartley, using information found in Sun Paper 3/7/1892, Episcopal Annual mag 1892, Living Church mag 1894. <br>Temple Oheb Shalom, AKA Eutaw Place Temple, is an imposing Holy land styled structure placed on one of Baltimore's elite Streets. The organ plans for the building were completed in March 1892, and Construction started soon after. It appears that the organ was part of the original plan and must have been installed at the end of the building's construction. Local organ lore claims this to be a Roosevelt organ, and it might have been a contract which was made with the Roosevelt firm, but completed in the Stein Shop, which had been the Baltimore Branch of Roosevelt. In two magazines, "Episcopal Annual 1893 and "The Living Church, 1894" Large Stein Advertisements appear, with stating that Frank Roosevelt had conveyed the business, name and patents to Stein. Additionally, in 1895 Stein labeled an organ for the Franklin Square Presbyterian Church, as his opus 1. <br>In 1959 the Congregation moved to a new building on Park Heights Ave. The old building, with organ, was sold to a Masonic order, "Prince Hall," who currently own the building. The organ contains its original pneumatic wind chests, to which electric actions, replace the original tubular key action,by Lewis & Hitchcock (1920s), who made only minor tonal additions, and installed a Skinner style console & blower. <br>In the early 1970s the organ chests were "perflexed" and within a couple years it was unplayable. More recently an amateur organ technician, made an attempt to resurrect the chest action, but this too failed. -Database Manager
