2020-11-30 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: "The specifications were recorded (Dec. 27, 1954) by Charles Scharpeger, an organ tuner in the area. Scharpeger noted that the Austin organ had a detached console and a Spencer Orgablo blower powered by a Century motor that provided 5" wind pressure. An entry dated April 1964 showed that Royal Insurance declared the organ's value at the time was $10,000 with a replacement cost of $20,000. At some point, possibly around 1925 when the Austin organ was installed, the present red brick church building was opened. On Friday, June 28, 1974, a three-alarm fire broke out in the church's basement, destroying much of the building. The church was repaired over the course of sixteen months – with help from neighboring Protestant and Catholic churches, Congregation B'nai Jacob and other local organizations – and was reopened on November 2, 1975." The church purchased a Hammond B3 at some point, and later a 3-manual Allen. -Jeff Scofield
