Installed in Perth Masonic Temple in 1893.
Installed in the residence of C. H. Gribble, Wembly, 1967.
Dismantled it and removed by Paul Smith to Melbourne in 1985.
Albert Park Baptist Church, Melbourne, was to have the organ, but then declined. The organ never went into that church.
The organ’s complete set of pieces was trucked to Laurie Pipe Organs workshop.
Arcadia Benedictine Monastery bought it in August 1995. |
| Information on current organ |
The stop label for the Principal 2' is slightly different in appearance
from the other labels implying it may have been changed. As it is only
tenor C, it may have been a 4' rank transposed. |
