A new organ at the time of installation. -- Alan Swartz identified the organ through information in A Brief History and Guide to the Church of Saint James the Less, written in 1983 by Paul W. Kayser. From page 14:
"The Organ was built by Hillgreen, Lane and Co. of Alliance, Ohio under the direction of Gustav Doring, former Director of Gifts for the Carnegie Foundation. The case of oak surmounted by two polychrome angels was designed by Wilfred Edwards Anthony; it was built by William F. Ross of Boston." (James Cook. 2013-04-09)
