Updated by Steven Bartley, naming this as the source of information: Pittsburgh Daily Post 3/10/1890 pg3.

Article about the new St. Anthony Chapel. Mention that a \"new pipe organ\", from an \"Eastern Firm\" was to cost $2200 and placed in the gallery over the door. (as no name of builder was made, the organ may not have been bought)


Database Manager on April 4th, 2014:

Organ relocated without any change.
Identified by Joseph Tuttle, based on personal knowledge of the organ.
-- Second hand instrument of unknown provenience installed at the chapel in 1892 as part of its expansion. Hand pumped until ca. 1930 when rebuilt by unknown builder (Tellers most likely, based on wind chests extant from this period). Later replaced by new organ by Luley & Associates in 2012, retaining original pipework from 1892.
