DETAILS

Organ was restored by Jerroll Adams in 2017 and is played during special events in the village
Database Manager on May 11th, 2011:
Henry Ford hired Ernest Skinner to build the instrument. Skinner used photographs of the original laboratory to design the organ as a replica of the Roosevelt instrument that had been in the lab. The organ is a self-contained instrument with all pipes exposed. It is located in the back of the laboratory on the second floor of the building.
Database Manager on January 19th, 2007:

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: Replica of original Roosevelt, #16 in the Edison Laboratory, Menlo Park, New Jersey; tracker action; extant.
