DETAILS
This instrument is: Extant and Not Playable in this location
The organ is extant but not playable as discovered at a visit on May 23, 2026 for a wedding and reception. (The mansion is now used as a rental facility.) I spoke with the on site manager and was told that the pipes remain in place, the blower is still in the basement and the console is in storage. It seems that the management would like to sell the organ.
