- In 1938, Aeolian-Skinner built a three-manual organ for John W. Haussermann, Jr. However, the organ was first installed in the Temple of Religion on the grounds of the World's Fair in New York, which was held in 1939-1940. The building was designed by the architectural firm Poor, Stein & Regan and had a large hall with 1,200 seats. After the Fair ended, the organ was moved to Haussermann's residence, Briarcliff Manor in Chappaqua, New York.
- The organ was sold in 1947. It was transferred by Sylvester Kohler to the Episcopal Church of Saint Andrew in Louisville, Kentucky. The pedal was expanded by Kohler with a Bourdon 16'.
