This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
This entry represents the first installation of a new organ in a new building. From the church website [2025]: "The first instrument at Westminster Presbyterian Church (the result of merger of First and Second Presbyterian Churches in Scranton) was a gift of the William W. Scranton, given in memory of Joseph and Cornelia Scranton. The 3-manual & pedal organ was built by the Hutchings-Votey Organ Co., and was designed with 4 matching pipe facades, stenciled by Tiffany & Company, and placed on either side of the chancel: 2 sets on the East front were speaking pipes, 2 sets on the West front were silent. This instrument served the congregation well for many years, but by 1928, styles had changed; console capabilities had been drastically modernized and so a new organ was purchased."
The Hutchings-Votey was replaced by a new Austin, Opus 1620, 1928. Disposition of the Hutchings-Votey is not known.
