The organ was donated to St. Paul's Episcopal Church in Franklin, New York, and was installed there in 2023 by Sidny Chase (Chase Organ Co.), and first used in concert on December 16 of that year.

This organ is both in its original home, and unaltered (except for the addition of an electric blower). This makes it one of the very rarest of the few surviving Marklove organs- a distinction now in jeopardy. Sadly, the church has closed, with the last service being held on Sunday, Nov. 21, 2021. The future of the building and organ is unknown at this time, and potentially in danger. The organ is chambered, and typical for later one-manual Marklove organs, the stopknobs are in a single horizontal row above the keyboard rather than in the terraced jambs or vertical rows typically encountered at the time. The narrow pedal compass of 25 notes is unusual in an organ so late. In a catalog published several years after the organ was built, there is no model that matches this organuhhhh exactly, being in between Models 1 and 2 in size: No. 1 has no 4' Flute, and No. 2 adds a Twelfth, Fifteenth and Octave Coupler to this disposition, and neither has a Tremolo. The handsome but chaste stencil decoration in late-period tertiary colors is in good condition, and the manual pipework is enclosed with the exception of the facade Diapason basses. The double rise reservoir is intact but leaky, and the organ was in regular use at the time of the church closing. As one would expect for the period, the tone is broad and diapasonal, and the rather wirey Violina 4' adds clarity and brightness. The Marklove output was dwindling near the end of John Gale's life (d. 1891), and before it was reorganized by Clarence Morey and once again had a prolific volume. This may be one of the last instruments built by the company under Marklove's direction, and is now the youngest of the surviving instruments.
