OHS convention: 1996
2020-11-19 - Built by Charles S. Haskell, and appeared on an opus list published by the firm in *The Diapason*, January, 1909. -Paul R. Marchesano
2021-01-14 - A 1910 ad in *The Philadelphia Inquirer* lists an organ installed here by Bates & Culley. This project was likely a rebuild or repair to the Haskell organ. -Paul R. Marchesano
2021-01-14 - The congregation was known as St. Ansrew's from 1851-1965 when they merged with St. Monica's to become The Church of St. Andrew and Monica. -Paul R. Marchesano
2022-10-20 - Built by C. S. Haskell c.1897, with tubular- or electro-pneumatic action to slider chests, it is housed in a chamber located over the sacristy. It is listed by Haskell as a three-manual instrument; perhaps the firm considered it as "prepared for" the addition of a choir or solo division. There is certainly room for the addition of another division in the huge chamber, which is the size of a small railway station. The organ was provided with a replacement console by Edgar H. Mangam of Philadelphia around 1976, but is tonally unaltered. The Great is on two massive chests, and has two prepared-for stops. The Swell, on one chest of truly heroic proportions, has four prepared-for stops. The Stopped Diapason 8' has pierced stoppers; the Dolce Celeste 8' has an octave of capped basses; the "Gemshom" 4' is not tapered and is actually a principal; the Cornopean is not harmonic. -Paul R. Marchesano
2024-03-13 - Instrument was removed by Grafton Organ Company and replaced with a Allen in the early 2000's. Nothing remains but the facade. -D.Damien Jones
