Notes

2025-01-20 - Identified from news report of dedication in The (Philadelphia, Pa.) Times No. 6,763 (Sunday, April 1, 1894): 7. See DOCUMENTS tab. "The organ was built by J. B. Didinger & Co. and contains several novelties...It consists of eighteen speaking stops, eight accessor registers and eight mechanical movements, nearly 1,000 pipes...a very important feature of the organ is that there are no trackers in the whole instrument, it being built with an improved tubular pneumatic system...." -Paul R. Marchesano
