Arthur Cook, Washington, DC

Arthur Cook contracted for Möller's Opus 5967 on March 30, 1931, to be completed by June 15, 1931, and installed in his residence at 1355 Montague Street, NW, Washington, DC.

It was a 6 rank organ with four ranks on unit chests and two ranks (the Diapason and French Horn) on a duplex chest which also contained the note relays. The plans show it installed in a rather tight space in the house (the plan view shows just enough space for all the components, but no room left to move around in!), and I can't say I'd envy anyone who had to work on the organ. Later the instrument was moved to a church in northern Virginia, after which it was owned by the late James Dale, organist at the U.S. Naval Academy, then purchased by a church in New York, and later still by a private owner in Virginia, where it remains stored.
