Skinner Organ Company
Boston, Mass. – Opus 600 (1926)
Electro-pneumatic action
2 manuals, 26 registers, 10 stops, 12 ranks
Player attachment
This Skinner organ was installed in the "Organ Room" in the southwest corner of the building. This room was adjacent to the reception area. A roll player attachment enabled the two-manual organ to be played throughout the day for the enjoyment of customers and staff.
In 1940, the organ was moved by Aeolian-Skinner (as Op. 600-A) to Immanuel Union Church, West New Brighton, Staten Island. At that time, the two preparations were installed. |
