Short article about the origin of this original 9 rank organ
Organ was purchased by John W. Haussermann, Jr., of Mt. Kisco NY, for his home, but Haussermann was giving it to the Cincinnati Conservatory for their concert Hall.

In his speech, Haussermann dedicated the instrument to Miss Bauer and all her work dedicated to music. Haussermann also hoped that the small organ would be enlarged. Ernest White is credited with the tonal design, and Aeolian Skinner the builders .... Haussermann was an organist and the son of wealthy capitalist John W. Haussermann Sr, who operated in Manila (Philippines) and New Richmond OH
