- De Scots' Church van Saint Andrew in Rose Bay bij Sydney werd op 1 november 1913 in gebruik genomen. Het kerkgebouw kwam in de plaats van een oudere Scots' Church uit 1835, die in het centrum van Sydney stond. Voor deze kerk bouwde de firma Hill & Sons in 1884 een pijporgel. Thomas Sharp gaf het inwijdingsconcert op 28 juli 1885, samen met zijn zonen Frederick en William. In 1911 is de oude kerk gesloten. Het orgel werd daarna zonder wijzigingen overgeplaatst naar het nieuwe gebouw in Rose Bay.
- De firma Pitchford & Garside voerde in 1975 een restauratie uit. De enige wijziging die in de loop van de tijd is aangebracht is de windmotor, maar de originele handbediende pompinstallatie is nog functioneel aanwezig.
