DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
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
