Pipe Organ Database

Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- Subsequent to its removal from Auburn ca. 1999, the metal pipes were separated from the instrument and recycled by David Wallace & Co. into a tracker house organ built for the late Mary Ann Dodd of Sherburne, New York. The case, wood pipes, and chassis was recycled with new metal pipes and stoplist, by Jeremy Cooper for the chapel of the South Kent School, South Kent Connecticut.

Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- ORIGINALLY BUILT BY A. ANDREWS & SON (1855) The organ was originally built for Calvary Episcopal in Utica, New York. Rebuilt by C.E. Morey as his Opus 206 in 1903 for the Masonic Hall in Newark, New Jersey. Rebuild included a new case above the impost of 19 half-round dummies in 3 sections arranged: 5-9-5; a new keyboard in the original frame, and brought forward - which resulted in the removal of the original sliding doors which had enclosed the manual. Also new was the key action, and a new pedal board with expansion from 12-pipes/notes to 27-pipes/notes. The swell shutters were not installed at the St. Matthew location, nor was the 1903 tremolo installed. The organ was taken back in trade by the Organ Clearing House when the 1871 E. & G.G. Hook & Hastings was installed in 1999.

The original builder was Alvinza Andrews (1851).

From Masonic Memple, Newark, NY; via [what location?] Rochester, NY through OCH c. 1975. The ca.1855 Andrews was installed by R[andy]. and Fr. Skanse, with some help as noted in the 1982 book, with absolutely no restorative repairs, not even replacements to the 1855 pedal trackers, which I've been tryin' to patch without crawlin' under ever since. The pipework especially needs serious work; almost everything speaks, but the feet of these very soft pipes have a way of crumbling ... Offered through OCH c. 1998.
