Jim Stettner on May 6th, 2023:
This entry represents the temporary installation of a new organ. It was purchased by Rodman Wanamaker in 1909 and became the nucleus of the famed Wanamaker Dept. Store Grand Court Organ in Philadelphia, where it was installed from 1909-1911; and was subsequently substantially enlarged.
