According to the Niagara Falls Gazette (February 3, 1886) the organ was housed in a case of highly-finished black walnut with a facade of 31 speaking pipes arranged in 3 sections. According to the newspaper report, the instrument was a Johnson & Son "Catalogue No. 7" design. A Barkus Water Motor was provided. The opening recital was performed by Mr. Wm. Kaffenberger, organist of the North Church, Buffalo, on February 10, 1886.
