Hilborne L. Roosevelt
New York City – Opus 13 (1876)
Mechanical action
1 manual, 5 stops
When the De La Salle Institute acquired the former Charlier Institute in 1888, there was an organ built in 1876 by Hilborne L. Roosevelt. This organ had one manual and five stops, so it is likely the organ was one of Roosevelt's standard models, either a "Style Six" or "Style Seven." Both styles had the same stops and a 13-note pedalboard, the only difference being that the stops were divided treble and bass on the Style Seven, as follows: |
