It is composed of one thousand four hundred and seventy two pipes, ranging from sixteen feet long, and twenty one inches square, the sized of the largest bass pipe speaking a thirty-two feet tone, down to one of eight inches long, and about a quarter of an inch in diameter. The case containing the organ is built after the Grecian order of architecture, from a drawing by Mr. Le Brun, an artist of this city, representing the Temple of the Winds."

"Its dimensions are twenty-three feet high, nineteen feet wide, and 12 feet deep, Three sets of keys and pedals, three sets, projecting from the front of the case. It contains about three thousand feet of lumber, and two thousand five hundred pounds of metal, of a new and improved mixture, of which the pipes are composed.
The instrument has been got up as a test piece of workmanship, and will be one of the most powerful in the United States: its cost is about $5,000."

An original installation. Identified by Steve Bartley, using information found in Sun Paper, Aug 29, 1842; pg 2, and Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, pg 251 History - 1891. Corrie is recommended to build for St. Vincent's.
-- The Corrie organ was replaced in part by Pomplitz in 1873 using the case and possibly pipes, etc. Again rebuilt or replaced by Niemann in the 1890s. In the 1940s renovation the case front was saved and placed against the gallery wall hiding the speakers of a then new electronic organ.
