George Jardine & Son
New York City (1875)
Mechanical action
2 manuals, 22 stops, 24 ranks
The organ in Church of the Puritans was built in 1875 by George Jardine & Son of New York City. Due to the "financial embarrassments" suffered by the church in 1875, the organ was acquired by St. Cecilia R.C. Church in Harlem. In 2010 the organ was extant but in poor condition. |
