  • In 1887 bouwde J.R. Miller een concertorgel voor de City Hall in Perth in Scotland, dat in december 1887 werd voltooid. De opdracht ging oorspronkelijk naar Edward Casson en John Miller, maar Edward Casson trok zich in de zomer van 1887 terug uit het project, zodat John Miller het zelfstandig verder bouwde. Het orgel werd aan de stad geschonken door sir Robert Puller. Het instrument is in 1911 door Miller overgeplaatst naar een nieuw gebouw aan Mill Street. In 1956-1957 voerde de firma Willis een grote verbouwing uit. Op 3 mei 1957 speelde Herrick Bunney het orgel weer in. In 1979-1980 is het orgel gerestaureerd door Rushworth & Dreaper. Hierna werd het weer in gebruik genomen op 2 maart 1980 met een concert door Francis Jackson.
  • De City Hall in Perth werd in 2005 gesloten en vervangen door een nieuw concertgebouw. Het orgel kon niet worden meegenomen. Het is in 2006 geschonken aan Halleybury College in Keysborough, Victoria, bij Melbourne. De firma Pipe Organs West Australia herbouwde het orgel en plaatste het in de school. De dispositie is daarbij ingrijpend gewijzigd. Het orgel werd in 2008 in gebruik genomen in de Aikman Hall van het College.
