The organ now in the Lady chapel was built in 1872 by Derrick & Felgemaker for the Taylor Orphanage in Racine, Wisconsin. At some point after 1933, this instrument was given to the Sisters of the Community of Saint Mary for use at the Episcopal DeKoven Foundation, where it was installed in the Saint Mary Chapel. In 1970 DeKoven purchased a three-rank Möller, Op. 10708, and the Derrick & Felgemaker instrument was gifted to Glenda Buchanan Mossman, who had it installed in her residence. In 1998, on the death of Ms. Mossman, the organ was restored by Larry Marowsky and given to All Saints’ Cathedral as a memorial to the Sisters of St. Mary.
