American millionaire Edward F. Searles will forever be remembered for his obsession with pipe organs. His most famous project was the construction of the magnificent Methuen Memorial Music Hall that houses the historic 1863 Walcker organ, originally installed in the Boston Music Hall. Searles had six other organs built for his homes, and one for his own organ factory. At the age of 46, Searles, then an interior decorator, married the fabulously wealthy widow of railroad magnate Mark Hopkins, 22 years his senior. Her death three years later left Searles with a $30-million fortune. This is the story of his lifetime involvement with the organ, illustrated with magnificent photographs of his many instruments.

This fascinating book traces the evolution of the Los Angeles company through the demise of the Murray M. Harris Company, its successor the Los Angeles Art Organ Company, and then its short-lived successor, the Electrolian Company. Letters to and from the major stock holder in the company, Eben Smith, reveal the financial debacle of building the largest organ in the world, the 1904 St. Louis Louisiana Purchase Exposition organ—the nucleus of the famous Wanamaker organ,—and the on-going problems of obtaining contracts and keeping the firm out of bankruptcy.
