It presents a beautiful appearance and is of fine workmanship. The case is 18 feet high, 12 feet wide and 8 feet deep, with silvered pipes in front, and the whole in keeping with the style of the audience room. The instrument has two manuals with 58 keys, 20 stops and 746 pipes ... the price of the organ is $2,000." -Andrew Henderson
