This organ is in original condition save for minor alterations by John J. Smith

& Son in 1928. This included new stop knob facings, moving the swell pedal

and adding a concave, radiating pedalboard. At some point the façade pipes

were re-painted, covering the original stenciling. This organ is exceptional in

that it plays into two rooms, both the Sanctuary and the Parish Hall used for

overflow crowds. Shortly after completing this instrument Jardine began work

on the Grand Organ for the new St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York.
