Updated through online information from T. Daniel Hancock. -- McCain, 1982, writes "In 1959 a contract was awarded to the M.P. Moller Organ Company of Hagerstown, Maryland in the amount of $16,950 for a two-manual and pedal, 15-rank instrument of neobaroque design for the Lady Chap, to be playable from the Skinner console as well as from its own console, as was the Casavant. The contract called for the Casavant to be taken in trade, but the organ was discarded."<br><br>"The chapel organ serves as an echo to the Skinner organ, as it can be heard from a passageway to the baptistry in the rear of the church."
