What's the "organ" room in the basement of the Carnegie house?

edit: Never mind, I found other sites that mentioned the pipe organ at the end of the main entrance hall, and see it on the ground level plan, so those are probably mechanicals in the room in the basement.

Every morning Walter C. Gale, a renowned church organist, would arrive and begin to play the massive Aeolian organ in the main hallway, its pipes extending through three floors. The music drifted to the second floor bedrooms of the Carnegies where they were gently wakened by their favorite tunes.
