Updated through online information from Stephen Hall. -- The elaborate case sketched by Richard Morris Hunt was never constructed, the Pedal 16 Open Metal Diapason is arranged as three unencased towers with four flats behind them. There is some elegant cabinetry below the pipes but no case work around the pipes.
