Notes

Paul R. Marchesano on April 26, 2022:

The organ's history...in America is somewhat sketchy and awaiting further investigation. It is said to had been at a St. Luke's church in New York City before heading north to Plattsburgh, New York. Signatures on the rear panels indicate it was in place in Plattsburgh by 1862. The organ was sitting in the living room of the Kent-DeLord Museum in Plattsburgh by 1862. -- Ruth Brunner, via 2003 OHS Handbook
The organ was cleaned, conserved and documented in 1998 by R.J. Brunner & Co.
