The organ remained in the Congress Theatre until sometime during the late 1950s, when it was apparently broken up for parts. Some of it ended up in a composite organ assem bled for St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Saratoga. -- 2006 OHS Organ Atlas
Considering the stature and means of those who summered there, Saratoga was an ideal place for any organbuilder to place a prominent instrum.ent. A businessman with the savvy of Matthias P. Moller (1855-1937) knew to jum.p on such an incentive. Just five days later, on May 20, the contract was signed for a three-manual Duplex Concert Theatre Organ costing $6,700, to be delivered on or before July 15, 1919.
