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

Susanna Faust on August 19th, 2024:
The Standbridge organ was incorporated into the (extant and still playable) E.M. Skinner organ in 1931. The facade remains unchanged according to tour guides associated with St. Peter's church.

Paul R. Marchesano on November 19th, 2020:
"The Corrie organ survived until 1856 when John C.B. Standbridge built a replacement. Standbridge's organ underwent two major overhauls -- the first in 1886 by Hilborne Roosevelt, the second in 1892 by H.C. Haskell -- before finally being retired by the Skinner organ in 1931." - Information from OLD ST. PETER'S PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL CHURCH, PHILADELPHIA: AN ARCHITECTURAL HISTORY AND INVENTORY (1758-1991), a thesis [MS] in The Graduate Program in Historic Preservation at the University of Pennsylvania, Frederick Lee Richards Jr. [son of the Rev. F. Lee Richards, Rector of st. Peter's Church (1970-1985)], pp 100-101. Vestry Minutes (1856) August: John C.B. Standbridge paid the first installment ($250) toward the new $2,100 organ he is making for St. Peter's -- inaugurated into service on Jan. 28, 1857. F.L.R. (Private) church notes (1886) Hilborne Roosevelt rebuilt and enlarged the Standbridge organ, adding another manual to the console.
