Paul R. Marchesano on July 31st, 2021:
The console was placed in a gallery for the choir whilst the main body of hte organ was installed on the floor of the chapel, "an arrangment requiring a great deal more machinery than usual." The organ was described as compact because of limited space. "The organ is very steady in tone and each pipe speaks remarkably quick." -- from *Philadelphia Ledger*, 18 March 1857
Database Manager on June 15th, 2015:
This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Jim Lewis, using information found in Philadelphia Public Ledger March 18, 1857.
