Carlton C. Michell
1896

Updated by Steven Bartley, naming this as the source of information: Sun Papers 10/29/1883, pg. 4; 9/19/1896 pg. 10; 3/8; 1902 pg. 7; 9/16/1911; 2/15/1926. Organ was contracted with Hope-Jones 1896, but Hope-Jones sub-contracted the work to Carlton C. Michell. The Sun Papers give some information, Cost $12,000, organ run by electricity from console to chamber. Most of the organ mechanism/pipes were in a chamber on the left side of the chancel with pedal on opposite side, batteries used for power, water motor for wind, 3 manuals, 34 speaking stops, 14 couplers, concave-radiating pedalboard, 11 combination pedals. Carlton Michell carried out the voicing. The organ was slightly altered, in 1902 & 1911, but no details given. In 1926 a "new" organ was installed, by Harry Hall of Connecticut. Pipes from the original organ are still in the organ, which indicates the Hall organ included some/all of the Mitchell pipes.

Identified through information adapted from E. M. Skinner/Aeolian-Skinner Opus List, by Sand Lawn and Allen Kinzey (Organ Historical Society, 1997), and included here through the kind permission of Sand Lawn: Designed by Hope-Jones, built by Carleton C. Michell, and installed by Cole & Woodberry; rebuilt by Hall, 1926.
