Notes

2023-03-30 - The facility received 2/6 Moller Op. 3936 in 1924 - either in addition to the Estey or as a replacement. From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project, Steven E. Lawson: This organ was moved from an unknown theatre in Philadelphia sometime before 1913. Estey's Shop Order (Sept. 14, 1912) states that there were bronzed front pipes and oak woodwork. A note was made that the Swell Box was "to open at back for tuning Vox Humana." The entire organ was on 5" wind pressure, with the note, "Voice very loud." -Jeff Scofield
