Paul R. Marchesano on November 2nd, 2022:

Inscribed on the wooden wind conductor between reservoir and chest, in a German dialect, as nearly as can be deciphered, are the words : "Jacob Hilbus hadt mich gemachlin Jahr van uns Herrn Jesu Christ 1819." This information was supplied by Arthur Allen Douglass, Jr. The organ was presented to the Sunday School of St. P aul's Church, Rock Creek Parish, Washington, in 1 890 and came to its present place shortly thereafter. Its prior history is not known. -- 1964 OHS Handbook
