George Vogt
1883

From The Catholic Record (Toronto, ON, May 25, 1883): "Berlin Letter - Grand Sacred Concert ... The new organ, which was used for the first time on this occasion, if a fine instrument built by Mr. George Vogt, of Elmira, Ont. This gentleman has also constructed other splendid organs in this province. It is a double-bank, pedal organ, having 15 full sets of pipes; in these sets are embraced about nine hundred pipes; there are some twenty-three stops, and the cost of all was two thousand dollars. All those who have seen the organ have praised it highly for its richness and sweetness of tone, thorough workmanship and artistic finish. The excellence of the swell organ enables the performer to execute the most delicate crescendo and decrescendo with great ease."

I have uncovered evidence that this organ was installed in 1883 at a cost of $1,700.
