I recently visited Biltmore Estate in Asheville NC.  In the main dining
hall, with its 72" tall ceiling, were three-story organ pipes, finished
in a antique silver patina.  Deep in the basement, there was a separate
closed room that houses the organs pumps and motors.  It was making
some humming sound, not bad, but it did have a heavy vibration.

With regularity the organ played a song.  But there was no way to see
if a person was playing it, or if it had a player mechanism.  There was
a sign on the turbine motor that stated this organ was restored into
playing condition in late 1999.  It had never been running for decades
before this.

Does anyone know if this was a player organ or not?  I am most
interested in knowing.
