From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: n 1944, St. Philip's moved to its present building, a neo-Gothic edifice accomodating 900 people which was designed by Arni Delhi in 1899 for Good Shepherd Episcopal Church.
In July of 1997, an agreement was made between St. Philip's Church and the Canadian firm of Guilbault-Thérien Inc., St. Hyacinthe, Quebec, for the installation of a new three-manual and pedal pipe organ. The movable detached terraced-jamb console includes sharps made of ebony, naturals made of cow bone, and drawknobs constructed of fine cocobolo wood from North Africa. The key transmission is of the solid state type and includes a combination system of 64 memory levels and a sequencer. Both the casework and the console woodwork were constructed of solid American oak, and the display pipework of the Great and Pedal principals was made of 75 percent polished tin. Selected pipework from the rebuilt 1931 Austin organ, Opus 1801, and even previous organs (origins unknown) that was incorporated into that instrument, has been carefully repaired and revoiced to compliment the new specification.
