Built into the Chapel in 1928, this regal organ is one of two remaining masterworks of the American organ-builder E.M. Skinner which are considered the finest examples of 20th century romantic organs built in America. Played masterfully by Thomas Weisflog.

  • What a nice organ.

  • nice vid!

  • awesome!

  • @MHLH97 the description did not specify 2 in ohio, but merely "two remaining."

  • @phulnelson There are 2 in ohio that are unchanged. Dayton Masonic Temple has Ops 624 it has never been rebuilt and is all original from the day it was put in.

  • I knew my Thomas theater organ better than i knew my brush, toothbrush or even shoes...( I played the fancy foot barefoot) I once used to sleepwalk when i was a child.. and my mother occasionally found me sitting at my organ ,frozen,,,I never played a note when i did that.. Darnett!!
