Identified through online information from James R. Stettner. -- Originally installed in George Washington Auditorium. The organ was dedicated by Louis Vierne on Monday, April 11, 1927 at 8:00 p.m. The organ was given by Thomas Cochran in memory of his wife, Martha. A scant two years later in 1929, the school began work on a new chapel - again made possible through the generosity of Thomas Cochran, and subsequently named Cochran Chapel. The Casavant was relocated to the new facility, but hopelessly buried in deep chambers. It was rededicated on May 8, 1932 and survived there until its replacement by the Andover Organ Co. in 1980-81 with a new mechanical action organ incorporating part of the Casavant casework into the new organ case.
