Harry B. Towle signed a contract with the Skinner Organ Co. in 1928 for a two-manual organ with player attachment. The duplexed organ was enclosed in two swell boxes and included several percussion stops. About 1932, a Tibia Clausa rank was added by others. The organ was moved in 1941 (as Op. 742-A) to the residence of E.G. Rodebaugh in Pughtown, PA, where it is extant and unaltered.
