From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project, Steven E. Lawson: The organ in the chapel was built in 1912 by Philipp Wirsching of Salem, Ohio. As originally installed, the organ had tubular-pneumatic action and a detached and reversed console. In 1925, the organ was electrified by the Wangerin Organ Company of Milwaukee, Wisc., who provided a new console that faces the organ case. At some point, the organ and console were rebuilt by John Klauder of Brooklyn. Klauder also provided new display pipes in the lower center section of the case following the removal of a bas relief of the pope.

Updated through online information from Jim Stark.
In 1925, when Wirsching was Tonal Director at Wangerin, the organ was electrified and the Solo Tuba Sonora was extended to 16' playable on the pedal as a Trombone stop.

Updated through information from Gerry Shamdosky: -- " The organ was installed in the late 'Teens (or maybe early Twenties...I'm not certain) by Wangerin, with Wirsching apparently doing the voicing. And so, the plot thickens!"
