This column is missing on the right side. There is an additional applied cylindrical column under the lantern rest. This circle rests on a rounded rectangle with molded edges, attached to the support board with small bracket moldings. The lantern rest itself is comprised of a circle with molded edges, in two halves, with carpeting covering the top. The outside moldings follow the shape of the lantern rest support at the top, and have arcaded details on the lower edge. The inside moldings support five bosses each, with one missing on the right side. This board supports the lantern rest at the top, and has applied moldings on the inside and outside. The upper section of this extension, at and above the keyboard level, is composed of a cut board let into the side of the main case. Towards the front of the organ, the case sides extend to support the keyboard and define the area where the musician sits. There is an applied molding at the base of the case sides with a quarter round, over a three inch block. All bosses mentioned subsequently are of the same design and finish. The bosses may double as anchor points for nails. At the corners where the lines intersect are applied half sphere bosses painted black. This panel is decorated with inscribed lines inset one inch from the edge, highlighted with gilding or gold paint. The sides of the main rear case are framed, with an overlapping panel or plaque.

The case does not have a full bottom but has a horizontal rail on each side, supporting a wooden castor at each corner. The remaining three sections are slightly smaller framed horizontal panels. The top portion is a horizontal board, hinged and with wooden latches and knob, allowing access to the workings of the organ. The back of the upright case is in four sections. There were a total of thirty dentils glued below the top molding, with several now missing. Just below the top molding are applied molded dentils with a profile of a flat into a half round, ogee, and half round. The top is attached with screws, visible due to separation between the boards. An integral molding, with a quarter round squared into a cove, overhangs at the front and sides. The case top is composed of four boards arranged as three sides of a rectangle, leaving the front uncovered over the shelf space. The underlying shape of the cabinet is an upright rectangular case, with the key well, pedals, and decorative elements projecting from the front.
