Presumably replaced by Aeolian-Skinner Co., Op. 950 (1936), a 2m organ; may have been installed in the case in rear gallery from c.1824. -Database Manager
2022-08-19 - From "A History of St. Andrew's Church 1742 - 1992" *page 130: During the rectorship of the Rev. Charles Perkins (1869-1882), the choir was brought down from the balcony to the northeast corner of the church. When the chancel was extended in 1882, the choir was seated in the chancel and an "organ chamber" was built on the north side in 1885. Mr. Charles E. Merritt, who served as choirmaster, offered decorative pipes to be placed on the north side. *page 131: In 1900 when the congregation of Trinity Church rejoined St. Andrew's Church, the organ which had been donated to Trinity....... was presented to St. Andrew's. That organ and the old organ from St. Andrew's were sent to the Bates and Culley Organ Builders of Philadelphia, where the best parts of each were combined.* It is assumed that the 1866 Marklove was moved to the new organ chamber in the chancel in 1885, and the former Marklove facade was left in the balcony from that time as decoration. There is nothing behind the balcony facade. It is assumed that the "old organ" that provided material in Bates & Culley in 1901 was the 1866 Marklove. -Jonathan Stark
