2023-03-08 - This entry represents the installation of a new pipe organ. Identified from the Twin Cities AGO Organ List. The *Chippewa Herald-Telegram* for July 27, 1893 states that the organ, installed in 1893, was built by the Jackson Pipe Organ Company of Chester, IL with 1766 pipes at a cost of $3000. The *Chippewa Herald-Telegram* for August 3, 1893 states, *"The dedication of the great pipe organ at Notre Dame church last evening attracted a very large audience. It was a fashionable one as well, light colors prevailing. Viewed from the gallery the hats and bonnets of the ladies looked like a beautiful flower garden. The program was rather long, especially as the atmosphere was extremely sultry. The music was thoroughly enjoyed, however. Prof. Charles H. Galloway's playing was the central attraction. He is only 23 years old but master of the organ...The organ promises to be all that has been guaranteed -- rich in tone and of volume a vast quantity. Selections from Wagner, Bach, Wely, Thomas and Smart were given exquisite interpretation."* The organ had served for 60 years and leather had deteriorated. It was decided it was worn out and was discarded. -Jim Stettner
