This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified from the parish website, "The present Gallery organ case which perfectly fills the clerestory space was built in 1866 to house a new organ. Patrick J. Murphy, in his publication, The Stop List (Spring, 1998), writes "…this case is believed to have been built by J. C. B. Standbridge of Philadelphia…" Church records note that this two manual, 54 note keyboard organ of 24 stops cost "…$1,500.00 and the old organ…" (Vestry Minutes, November 13, 1865)."
"The organ was, as were previous instruments, pumped by hand, and The Vestry Minutes from this period reports that the organ blower was paid $20.00 per year, and the organist was paid $150.00 per year! (It was not until October 7, 1889, that electricity was provided to the church)."
