Foley-Baker to rebuild National Cathedral Skinner

Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, the National Cathedral, Washington, DC

The Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul, (the National Cathedral), Washington, D.C., has contracted with Foley-Baker, Inc., of Tolland, Connecticut, to remove and rebuild its pipe organ.

Originally built in 1938 by E. M. Skinner & Son of Methuen Massachusetts, and through the years modified as the cathedral doubled and tripled in size, the new organ will use portions of the previous instrument where possible and appropriate. Work will begin in 2024 and is expected to take four years.

For information: cathedral.org.
