The instrument was originally installed in Trinity Church as Estey Op. 1850.
Victor purchased the building in the early twenties for use as a recording studio
and in 1926 brought Estey back to enlarge the instrument.
A third manual and additional features (e.g. 2nd touch) were added to the console,
and several ranks of new pipes were intended to make the organ more useful in playing various musical styles.

Thomas "Fats" Waller played this organ in a number of recording sessions for Victor between 1926 and 1935.
