  • In 1929 Ernest Skinner built an organ for the Immaculate Conception Church in Philadelphia. The instrument was dismantled in 1986 and has been installed between 1986 and 1999 in the main hall of the former Union Terminal train station in Cincinnati, which is used by the city's Museum Center. This station was built in the years 1929-1933.
  • In 2013, a start was made on expanding the organ with an Antiphonal Organ, for which a smaller Skinner organ was used, also from 1929, from a private individual.
