2025-04-08 - Known from newspaper reports in The Philadelphia Inquirer of "A Grand Organ Concert" played by the top organists in Philadelphia accompanied by a 40-voice choir. A record from the Kinetic Manufacturing Company shows installation of an electric blower in July, 1906, and the Roberts organ in "fair" condition. See DOCUMENTS tab for those clippings. Reported at the time of installation as being located at 18th Street & Columbia Avenue. The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission Architects and Building database lists the building as being built c. 1872, and address as 1801 Columbia Avenue [currently non-existent]. Google Maps displays 1801 West Columbia Avenue. -Paul R. Marchesano
