Hall Organ Co.
before 1923

Here's what I know about the Hoyme Memorial Chapel (built around 1906 on the St. Olaf campus). Yes, it burned to the ground in 1923 and they razed the whole building. I (and several other St. Olaf students) think that there were two separate organs. A 3-manual in the upstairs main chapel (with the photos). And, a separate 2-man practice instrument in a downstairs (basement) chapel which the student congregation raised $ for and donated. Both (if there were two) were lost in the 1923 fire. Everyone (including the current librarian at St. Olaf) believes the upstairs organ was always 3-man Kilgen. The Hall was definitely a 2-manual instrument; the Kilgen a 3-manual. Don't know the action type.

People currently alive do not know where this organ was installed. It's possible it was in Hoyme Chapel, which burned down in 1923. There were several other Hall organs in Northfield, including St. Dominic's Catholic Church and St. John's Lutheran Church. All are now gone.
