From the book *Portraits in American Lutheran Sacred Music 1847-1947*: "The organ was 19" wide, 27' tall & 16' deep. The facade was arranged in 5 fields of pipes, consisting of 35 visible pipes - parts of the 16' Principal and 8' Principal. These front pipes were made of heavy tin and richly ornamented."
