From the Lockport Daily Journal (November 27, 1880): "The new organ which has just been set up in the gallery of St. Patrick's (Catholic) church, in this city, is a fine instrument, and was built by Wm. King, the well-known organ manufacturer of Elmira, N.Y. It contains two sets of manuals of sixty-one notes each and a pedal of twenty-seven notes. It has twenty-two stops and eight hundred and forty-five pipes, including a trumpet, oboe and harmonic flute; also two stops on the pedal. The organ has twenty-seven handsomely and artistically decorated speaking pipes on the front in addition to fourteen large pipes on the side. The instrument is blown on four inches of wind, and is voiced very full and brilliant. The principal stops are the clarinet flute, harmonic flute, trumpet and oboe. The case, which is made of chestnut, stands twenty-one feet high, thirteen feet wide and eight feet deep. It is one of the handsomest organs in this city, and cost about $2,500. The organ will be heard for the first time at the concert to be given in St. Patrick's Church on Thursday evening of next week ..."
This entry represents the installation of a new organ. Identified through online information from Shelley Richards (October 10, 2024): The church remains St. Patrick but the Parish associated with the church is now called All Saints as of 2008.
