Opus 3330, 1924 ca.

Updated through online information from Craig Balsiger. -- My grandparents, Harry and Edna Balsiger purchased the Blackburn house in 1953 and lived there until 1994. I grew up in the house. While I am not an organ expert, I will attempt to explain what I know. The organ [console] was in a corner of the living room. The organ had a roll top. The organ was a player type with paper scrolls. The [organ - i.e., the] pipes were in the basement in a two story room. There was a wooden grate in the living room floor where the sound came from the basement. My grandparents met Stan Kann while he was playing at Ruggeri's on the Hill in the 1960s and invited him over to see the organ. He came to the house, played it while we listened, then later did some restoration work on the organ. The player worked and was in use until the early 90s when it stopped working. Local realtor Susan Schiff purchased the house from my grandparents' estate in 1994 and still owns it today. To my knowledge the organ is still in the house.

Contained a player. Residence later owned by Herman Schwartz.
