2025-04-22 - This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified through online information from Andrew Henderson (April 21, 2025): From The Buffalo *Daily Republic* (June 17, 1869): "Mr. G. House, whose manufactory is at No. 122 Clinton Street, has just completed a fine organ for St. Peter's and St. Paul's Church at Williamsville, in this county. Its dimensions are 20 feet high, 13 feet wide, and 9 feet deep, with Gothic case of black walnut finish. It is an octave and a half pedal, reversed pedal, has 2 manuals, 26 stops, and 850 pipes. The sub-bass is 16 1/2 feet, open pipe; the largest pipe is 16 feet high, and large enough for a six-year-old to crawl into it. There are 17 front speaking pipes, the largest of which is about 12 feet high, and the bellows is unusually large for an organ of the size, and so free is its machinery from friction that a boy of eight years can operate it without much effort. It is really a handsome organ, and just how Mr. House could afford to build it for the sum of $2,500, is one of the mysteries of the business. -Andrew Henderson
