2020-12-08 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: The present church building at the corner of St. Johns Place and Seventh Avenue was erected in 1882-83. As designed by Pugin & Walter, the decorated Gothic structure measures 95 by 67 feet and is constructed of Belleville brownstone with a roof of blue slate. At the corner is a buttressed tower, surmounted by a 117 foot high stone spire, that serves as a porch above the main entrance to the church. The pews in the auditorium are circular in form and provide seating for about 800 people. The edifice was opened on February 18, 1883. The current organ in Memorial Presbyterian Church was built in 1908 by the Austin Organ Company. S. Lewis Elmer, AAGO, was the organist at the time. As originally built, the organ had four manuals and 47 stops. At some point, the original console was replaced by the present three-manual Austin console. The following specifications were recorded (Dec. 2006) by John Klauder, organ serviceman of Brooklyn. Pipecounts were not given but are suggested below, based on similar Austin organs of the era. The organ is extant but unplayable due to age and smoke damage from a fire. -Jeff Scofield
