Above is the first organ Ernest Flagg designed for Frederick G. Bourne's 'Indian Neck Hall' designed c. 1897-1900 in Oakdale. After Bourne had Flagg add a ballroom he also had his organ enlarged (c. 1908). Click HERE for more on 'Indian Neck Hall'. Photos courtesy of Jim Lewis.

That ballroom is enormous!!! Good grief. That's not a ballroom, that's a grand concert hall.
funny to see the original 'little' organ imbedded in the huge new one.
Neighbors of my great grandparents had an aeolian player organ in their huge music room. It was one of the wonders of my childhood---though the house was soon torn down, as was my great grandparent's a few years later...progress, progress...
It was not a ballroom it was built in 1909 as an addition to the original building to house the large organ. I was archivist there for 10 years on the original blueprints it was referred to as the music room besides the organ it had tha Weber grand piano and a electric gramophone
