Database Manager on February 12th, 2013:
Updated through online information from Ken Mensing. -- The organ was removed early after the mansion was acquired in 1948 by the Pennsalt Chemical Corporation (today part of ATOFINA) who transformed the building into a research laboratory. It was sold to a Baptist church in Virginia, where it was used for about 30 years. Sadly, the church was destroyed by a fire in the 1970-s. The fire allegedly started in the organ pipe chamber.
