The predecessor to Op. 1202 was across the front of the room. However, when The Extension was built, it sliced off some of that end of the building. So, today the only thing left of the original chamber is the facade plus a passageway behind it. The organ was moved to above the ceiling and speaks through grills toward the rear of the room.
