This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.
Identified by T. Daniel Hancock, using information found in The American Organist, December 2013.
-- Dedicated on New Year's Day, 1874; cost $6,000. According to Bahr and Murphy, 2013, it was "housed in a black walnut case that contained an array of lavishly stenciled facade pipes in an unusual symmetrical arrangement." It was replaced in 1916 by Austin Opus 597, but the case and a few pedal stops were retained.
