This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
Photograph shows the gothic inspired building which housed the orphanage for girls founded by Elizabeth H. Burd in 1856. Located near Cobbs Creek in Delaware County, the building opened in 1863 under the management of St. Stephen's Protestant Episcopal Church. It was torn down in the 1930s.
Paul R. Marchesano on November 7th, 2022:
The Hall & Erben’s voice filled St. Stephen’s until 1864, when it was transferred to the chapel of an ambitious new project for the church, the Burd Orphan Asylum just built in West Philadelphia. It is not clear what happened to this inaugural pipe organ when the institution moved to 4226 Baltimore Avenue in the 1920s and the original property sold (it is now defunct). -- "Exploring St. Stephen's Musical Voice: Its Pipe Organs through Time," web page, St Stephens Epsicopal Church, Suzanne Glover Lindsay, September 19, 2019
