Dismantling a Pipe Organ Time-Lapse

1867 E&GG Hook pipe organ opus 411 built for Mt. de Chantal Visitation Academy in Wheeling, West Virginia. Set the camera to take a shot every 30 seconds with a 1.3 sec shutter speed.

Huge amount of work, and this video doesn't show us packing it into a trailer and the back of a van.

Sad to see the pipe organ being dismantled. I was a student at the Mount too, and i can't accept the fact that I will never see the place together ever again. =( Breaks my heart

@jvannewkirk Thanks for posting this. Now I know what my school looks like as they destroy it along with the history it contained. This is powerful footage.

This is very sad to me. That was my school. Now Wheeling Hospital is destroying this history for the sake of the almighty dollar. And I'll tell you right now that anybody who was in that building in the last few years knows it was in good shape. the hospital is now on a media campaign to make the place look dilapidated. well, it has deteriorated since the hospital bought it.
