Roosevelt Pipe Organ Builders

Hilborne Roosevelt and his younger brother Frank Roosevelt organized the Roosevelt Pipe Organ Builders in the 1880s. The brothers built some of the largest organs in the United States during their career, and many today are prized for their quality and tone. The Roosevelts were among the first to introduce elecricity into organbuilding.
