Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield -- The Larkin Building was designed in 1904 by Frank Lloyd Wright and built in 1906 for the Larkin Soap Company, the premier direct mail order house of its time. The innovative design features included one of the earliest forms of air-conditioning, built-in desk furniture and somewhat hazardous-sounding "suspended toilet bowls." It also featured stained-glass windows and skylighted work areas. The 100-rank Möller was installed at a cost of $90,000 on the upper level at one end of the central court and the ornate console was located in a shallow pit on the main floor. It was "built of Genuine Mahogany, suitably carved and panels lined with White Holly or White Mahogany." The very tall console also housed the Solo Symphonist roll mechanism. By the late 1930's, business had fallen off considerably. In 1939, the main floor was remodeled extensively to house a retail operation. The building was foreclosed upon in 1945 and the organ removed and dispersed around that time. The organ was rumored to have been sold to a local organbuilder; parts stamped 4335 showed up in that company's organs for a number of years. The building was demolished in 1950.
