In the files of Louis F. Mohr & Co., an organ service concern in the area, is a record stating that in 1921 the Church of the Puritans had an "Alex Mills tracker" with two manuals and 21 stops (Great 10, Swell 8, Pedal 3). Specifications of this organ have not yet been located.

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.
