Notes

2021-11-12 - This entry represents the installation of a new pipes organ. Identfied from a November 11, 2021 Facebook post by Sebastian M. Gluck on Facebook Organists Association. -- Contract signed 23 April 1906 for $10,500. II/14 with Harp. The estate was sold to to the Catholic Diocese of Rockville Center in 1930 and the house was destroyed by fire in 1992. -Jim Stettner

2021-11-12 - One website called halfpuddinghalfsauceblogspot.com states, *"The living hall has a fine organ whose golden pipes blend with the dim, mysterious gorgeousness of the Panels of the Wise Men which line the walls. This organ once cast an aureate (gold) glow over the choir of an old Portuguese church."* There is no documentation for this assertion. -James R. Stettner
