2004-10-30 - Church closed 1992 and building condemned. -Database Manager

2010-06-27 - Updated through online information from Thomas L. DeLay. -- The organ was intact and playable when I was in Madison circa 1999/2000. It clearly had not been maintained or tuned in years, but it did play very well if out-of-tune. I understand the building has been preserved as a cultural center. -Database Manager
