Andrew Henderson on February 5th, 2025:

According to the Buffalo Daily Dispatch and Evening Post (August 14, 1863): "They have just received from Cincinnati a magnificent instrument, which has been built for them in that city at a cost of $5,300. We believe it is considerably the largest and most powerful in the city. It comprises 37 1/2 full stops or registers, and when erected in the church will present a frontage of 42 feet in width, 26 feet in heighth [sic], and will measure 22 feet from front to rear."
