The Organ at
Third Church of Christ, Scientist
583 Park Avenue at 63rd Street
New York, New York


(Organist's view of organ)

The organ at Third Church of Christ, Scientist, was built in 1923 by The Estey Organ Company of Brattleboro, Vermont (Opus 2074). G Donald Harrison (Aeolian-Skinner Organ Company) supervised an update of the organ, including a new console, in 1950. In 1960, Austin Organs Inc. rebuilt the Great, Choir, Swell and Pedal divisions. In 2000, the Echo division was rebuilt and a new console was added by the Wicks Organ Company.
