From The Daily Telegraph (Saint John, NB, August 25, 1882): "The organ, which, seen from the south entrance, is the most prominent and imposing object in the building, its facade having a width of 38 feet and a total height, to the top of the centre pipe, of 36 feet. 61 pipes are visible from the body of the church, all of which are elaborately illuminated in silver, gold and colors. The case is of ash and walnut, suitably carved. The organ was built by Mr. W. E. Greenwood, and is almost entirely new, some minor portions being taken from the old Institute organ, of which, however, none of the pipes were utilized. Some idea of the magnitude of this noble instrument may be formed when it is known that it contains in all, 1,061 pipes of various lengths and calibre, which produce an immense and impressive volume of sound. The annexed specification of the instrument will how the large variety of combinations that will be at the disposal of the performer, who will have the control of 2 manuals and 29 draw-stops, compass of organ C.C. to G-56 notes."
