From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project, Steve Lawson: The original organ in Huntington Chapel was built by The Ernest M. Skinner Co., of Boston. The Articles of an Agreement, dated March 28, 1916, show that the organ would have electro-pneumatic action and a movable two-manual drawknob console. Skinner indicated that the organ would be completed and installed on or before August 1, 1916. Total cost of the organ was $3,500.
