The organ was built for Mr. W. H. Walker for the sum of $19,750, not including the elaborately 
carved and gilded console, and is in its original location. The blower was disconnected some years 
ago, and many pipes (particularly of the Diapason F) are missing. The organ is installed in the 
Tudor-style music room, with the Echo located above the ceiling, requiring the services of a 
stunted midget contortionist for tuning access.
