From the original builder specification:
"The bellows of ample size and of double action are of finest materials and workmanship, which is the best description for the entire organ. The interior metal pipes from 4' C are made of fine spotted metal. The case is of simple neat stained wood with front speaking pipes ornamentally arranged and decorated, standing about 16' high 10' wide and 10'6" deep. The organ was shipped in "stout packing cases with glued joints and bound together with iron hooping, the delicate parts in tin-lined cases", and the fittings included an organist's bench of hardwood and a pair of "strong brass candle sconces." "
