2023-06-22/2023-06-22 - Based on city directory entries, Meinhart (also found spelled Mienhart, Minehart, and Meinhardt) resided in Pittsburgh and Allegheny City, then near (and now absorbed into) Pittsburgh, from the mid-1840s to the 1880s, but he has not been researched, and has otherwise been unknown to organ historians. According to Baynham, he also had a brother, Julius, who worked in the trade. Stark also constructed at least one organ in partnership with organbuilder Philip Meinhart (dates unknown) in 1845 for the building of the First Reformed Church and the First Evangelical Lutheran Church of Greensburg, Pennsylvania—two congregations using the same edifice. No specific details have been found about the instrument, except that it cost either $800 or $900, an expense presumably split between the parishes. Information from *2010 OHS Organ Atlas* -Paul R.
