He must have lived in England. We do love a mad eccentric inventor over here!

I have no doubt he spent a lot of time there at least.

Great video Keith, the opening arches were my favourite that and watching your camera’s dynamic range deal withe various light levels throughout the video.

Thanks Mike -- this one was just shot on the iPhone.

This seems so out-of-place in the northeastern U.S. Thanks for taking is along for the tour!

[@Keithdotson]

It definitely does seem out of place!

​@@Keithdotson I respectfully disagree, yes it's quite unique yet unmistakably gothic revival in the structural detail and design. Finding churches with a similar design is not difficult

By the way, that pipe organ was recorded on Kapp Records. Amazing sound and contains over 8,000 pipes. In case you're interested, you can listen to the album here on KZbin. However, it was re-released under the title Richard Ellsasser Plays the Jay Hammond Organ. The selections are: Pomp and Circumstance March #1, Dance of the Siamese Children from the King and I, Great Gate At Kiev, Bacchanale from Samson and Delilah, The Phantom Regiment and Dance of the Comedians from The Battered Bride.

Oh that's really interesting to know! I'm going to search that out now! Thank you
