In the contract dated March 9, 1927, the M.P. Möller Company agreed to provide a two-manual organ for the new chapel of St. John's Episcopal Hospital.

Earlier organ at St. John's Episcopal Hospital:
Hilborne L. Roosevelt
New York City – Opus 101 (1882)
Mechanical action
1 manual, 5 stops, 5 ranks
The first known organ for the chapel at St. John's Episcopal Hospital was built by the Roosevelt Organ Works of New York City. The specifications below were recorded on February 10, 1916, by an employee of Louis F. Mohr & Co., an organ service firm in the area. Mohr noted that the organ was in the gallery and had 22 front pipes in color, while the walnut console was downstairs. The organ was voiced on 3" wind pressure, provided by a Kinetic 1/3 H.P. blower. Mohr also made notes about the addition of a stop.
Space for stop on chest There is a slide but upper board is not bored
Gamba of 46 pipes 12 lower notes can be grooved to Melodia bass
$150 for new stop
There is running in chest upper boards
may be warped estimate to overcome this
boards to be planed off
Mohr did not get the job. Instead, the Roosevelt organ was enlarged by the Geo. Hutchings Co. |
