2026 marks a milestone year for the Organ Historical Society - its platinum jubilee, celebrating 70 years since OHS' founding in 1956. The Convention was held in mid-August, in and around Philadelphia, and focused on historic and more recent installations, including the new Dobson organ at the Curtis Institute of Music and the restored 1824 Hilbus cabinet organ at Stoneleigh, OHS' headquarters.

With Rollin Smith’s Lost Pipe Organs of America, the Organ Historical Society celebrates the Golden Age of pipe organ building and beyond. Every facet of American life, not only in worship, but in concert halls, auditoriums, universities, hotels, world’s fairs, and expositions, featured a notable instrument, now lost to history.

Lost Pipe Organs of America range from that of the Boston National Peace Jubilee of 1869; New York’s Chickering, Mendelssohn, and Carnegie Halls; Hotel Astor and Waldorf-Astoria; the E. & G.G. Hook at Louisville’s Southern Exposition of 1883; Chicago’s Steinway Hall and Stadium; auditoriums in Denver, Washington, Detroit, and Chicago; the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition’s Festival Hall, and Lincoln Center’s Philharmonic Hall. A galaxy of America’s organbuilders include Hook, Jardine, Roosevelt, Skinner, Farrand & Votey, Aeolian, Möller, Austin, Estey, Barton, Wurlitzer, and Aeolian-Skinner. Hundreds of illustrations are what you have come to expect, and footnotes are, as usual, not to be missed.
