Cathedral of the Holy Cross

Cathedral of the Holy Cross's guide follows its enormous 1875 pipe organ, once the largest built in America, through the decades it fell silent after decay stripped it of its original console. It centers on organist Leo Abbott, who arrived in 1986 to find the instrument in disrepair and staged an annual benefit recital to fund its rebuilding, one show a year for over two decades running. Stand beneath the loft to take in the scale of what he was trying to save.
