Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is installed in the library on the 2nd floor. It is housed in two large chambers on either side at one end, and fronted by a display of large gold pipes on two sides. The original console was very lavish and ornate, but had no manuals - playing solely by rolls. It is said that Mr. Moran would go to the balcony and sit at the console, and dupe his guests into believing that he was playing. In 1937, a Kimball console replaced the original, but retained the original console's player. The residence is now a popular resort known as Rosario.
