Jim Stettner on August 13th, 2021:
Identified from notes on a related OHS Database entry. -- When the church was built in 1818, it was fitted with a Thomas Hall, Philadelphia, of three manuals, 22 stops, and Pedal Bass (no pipes-later altered-from Great Double), 1400 pipes (number given in proposal-but actually somewhat more) In a rear gallery-case in Lyre form by Maximilien Godefroy, architect of church. An apparent fire ca. 1847 seems to have damaged or destroyed the Hall, which was replaced in a newly rebuilt gallery in 1847 by a three-manual, 37-stop Appleton and Warren. This was later replaced inthe newly reconstructed interior of church by an 1893 Henry Niemann two manual, 25-rank organ (with Barker Lever) given by Baltimore philanthropist Enoch Pratt. It is still in regular use (with three additions using Niemann pipes).
