ELks lodge 99 -- lobby organ console specification

This two-manual console was designed to control only the antiphonal/echo organ, which was located halfway down the lodge hall, over the main entrance to the hall.  The antiphonal/echo chamber had two sets of expression shades -- one opening into the lodge hall, and the other opening into the large lobby at the top of the grand staircase, where this console was installed.  The present location of this console is unknown.  This was one of possibly two Robert Morton installations which were provided with two consoles:
