The accompanying photo shows the dramatic floor to ceiling window behind the organ has been covered up, likely to conserve heat or to improve the organ's tuning stability, or both. A study of the photo shows several zinc facade pipes have begun to collapse or have been damaged by being squeezed at the center racking point, forcing the pipes to ovalize and the top portion to begin leaning and distorting the pipe.
This is a rebuild of an existing organ.
