Notes: The organ was donated by Mrs. Efrem (Mary Curtis) Zimbalist, daughter of publishing scion Cyrus H. K. Curtis. It was built in five moveable sections to be used on a slightly sloping stage. The organ was sold to the Lenape Valley Presbyterian Church, New Britain, Penn., and installed in 1991 by Brantley Duddy.
