Unknown - Aeolian Organ behind Roosevelt Case (Ephesus SDA Archives/Database Manager)
Note: Not extant. Not playable. (in this location)
2018-04-19 - Following the removal of the 1886 Roosevelt organ (Op. 341), the church acquired a three-manual organ built by the Aeolian Company and reinstalled it behind the modified 1886 Roosevelt case. Church sources suggest that the organ had a connection with the Guggenheim family, so it may be that Ephesus obtained Aeolian's Op. 1793 and/or Op. 1794 from the American Women's Association Clubhouse on West 57th Street, both of which had been purchased by Florence (Mrs. Daniel) Guggenheim in 1931. The fire of January 1969 melted the case, but the remains were purchased by Vaughan Ramsey, organist of Flatbush-Tompkins Congregational Church in Brooklyn. Matthew Bellocchio and Larry Trupiano assisted Ramsey with the removal of the pipes. -Database Manager
