This card shows the interior of the Chapel at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The oblique view shows the facade of part of the organ. When I was in graduate school in Washington, DC I visited here. My color card is in mint condition. It was produced by DE Traub of Maryland; it uses something called "plastichrome" by Colorpicture Publishers of Boston. The original organ was built by Hutchins of Boston in 1908. MP Moeller of Hagerstown, MD installed a larger instrument in 1940 to complement the enlarged chapel facility. Much additional work has been done over the years, though specifics are not included on the Academy's site. The instrument now includes digital voices in addition to pipe ranks, and a stunning array of what I was classify as theater-organ stops, including several percussion ranks. Text on the back of the card mentions the stained glass that is visible, but not the organ.
