Paul R. Marchesano on February 22nd, 2021:
From an article by Eugene McCracken, The Tracker, Vol. 3, No. 4, July 1959:
"During the year 1840, with the help of William Farley and a Mr. Jones, he built his first organ, containing four or five ranks of pipes. It was placed in Mr. Furnace's church (Unitarian) at 8th and Locust Streets [sic: the church was located at 10th and Locust Sts, designed by William Strickland and built in 1828], and probably replaced or augmented the Corrie organ of 1831. This organ must have been a success, for later, during the 1850's, he built another organ for this church, whose only available description is that it was the "most magnificent in the United States."
