The first organ installed in the Lecture Room of the Church Annex was built in 1879 by Hilborne L. Roosevelt of New York City. Roosevelt's May 16, 1879 letter, recorded in the Trustees' Minutes, stated: "Gents. I propose to construct and erect in your Lecture Room by Sept. 1st 1879, an Organ of the best materials and workmanship to occupy a space of about eight feet wide and five feet deep, to cost the sum of $1,800 including gilding and decorating the pipes, but the case to be furnished by you and decorated by me." The organ was replaced in 1913 by 2/5 Skinner Op. 206-B.
