On June 10, 2021, some parts of the organ, including chests and some pipework have been removed to Boardwalk Hall, Atlantic City, New Jersey as potential core materials for badly water damaged sections of the organ there.
Jeff Scofield on November 11th, 2020:
From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: The following specification was recorded (July 23, 1938) by Louis F. Mohr & Co., an organ service concern in the area. Mohr wrote that the organ had electric action, a detached console built to A.G.O. standards (61 manual keys, 32 pedal keys), and was duplexed. The organ was installed behind an oak case with 21 silver front pipes. Midmer-Losh indicated in their Ledger Book (June 1929) that the organ cost $13,000. Mohr did not include pipecounts, but the following are suggested, based on similar Midmer-Losh organs of the period.
Following the closure of the church in August 2015, the organ was removed to storage in Staten Island.
