Statement of Significance
A single-manual chamber organ of six stops built by George Fincham possibly in the late 1860s for private use. Its early history is unknown before being purchased for its present location in 1892 from George Fincham. The instrument has remained largely unaltered apart from the raising of the cornice on the casework and the introduction of electric blowing. It is a rare example of Fincham's earliest Australian work similar in style and construction to the organ at the Uniting Church, East St Kilda. It retains its delightful grained timber case, comprising five flats of diapered dummy pipes surrounded by fretwork panels and cusped pipeshades, all placed beneath a prominent cornice.
