I believe the builder in this case was William F. Legge, as his brother Franklin Legge died in 1948 (who had also recently sold his firm to the T. Eaton Co.)

[Ed.: Based on the Masonic Lodges and Temples in Ottawa, it appears the Legge organ may have been built for Temple Lodge 665, formed in 1949, and housed at Westboro Masonic Temple. No further documentation of original location available at this time.]
"The organ in question was owned by Carman Milligan, former organist at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Ottawa, and was originally built by William Legge in the 1950s for a Masonic Temple in Ottawa. Milligan had the organ installed in his home after receiving it from the Temple, and had augmented it with additional pipes from the organ building company Casavant Frères."
