2007-08-06 - Updated through online information from David Poile. -- I spoke with the organist at Grace Episcopal Church (Chase Johnson) about the organ at their church. In 1948, Grace Episcopal Church moved to a newly constructed building. At that time, their old church was demolished along with the Hook and Hastings organ. The organ's remains are buried in the parking lot of the new church building. The new church utilized a Hammond organ until approximately 1999 when they acquired the organ by an unknown builder (possibly Schaefer and Sons?) from St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Cedar Rapids when that church closed. This present organ dates from 1904 and the key action is pneumatic. It was installed by an unknown local technician. -Database Manager
2007-10-16 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner. -- A photo of the church interior in the "History" section of the church's website shows a large instrument in the front, right corner at the crossing. It has a facade of ornately stenciled pipes on both sides of the chamber - Chancel and Nave. The console is on the chancel side. In a second picture dated 1915, a detached, reversed console is clearly visible. -Database Manager
