Statement of Significance

A two-manual organ built in the 1870s by the noted London firm of Gray & Davison for an unknown English location and installed at Brunswick about 1929 by Frederick Taylor. The organ was rebuilt in 1952 by Hill, Norman & Beard with new action and console, but retaining the original pipework, tonal scheme, casework and windchests. The only example of its buildiers' work in Victoria to survive in recognisable form, it includes particularly striking reed stops.
