The Organ Clearing House announces that the organ of the former All Saints Catholic Church, Harlem, New York, has been sold for relocation to St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, Columbus Circle, New York, New York. All Saints Church is a Venetian Gothic building designed by James Renwick, Jr., finished in 1893. The edifice is in the process of being sold.
The organ of the church was built in New York City by Frank Roosevelt, Opus 525, three manuals, 59 ranks, the last instrument to be finished by the builder. It was rebuilt in 1931 by Welte-Tripp of Sound Beach, Connecticut, becoming a four-manual, 70-rank organ retaining most of the Roosevelt pipework with a new Solo division.
Removal from All Saints Church occurred in February. Daniel Ficarri, a member of The Diapason’s 20 Under 30 Class of 2019, is organist of St. Paul the Apostle Church.
