2009-09-17 - Updated through online information from Michael Speck. -- Church relocated in 1972, if organ still extant at that time, was not moved to new location. -Database Manager

2010-07-26 - Updated through online information from Randolph Blakeman. -- My father grew up in this church, so we often went there with my grandmother. The pipes of Pilcher Opus 769 were still there, but as far back as I can remember, it was not playable. They used a Hammond concert model. I believe that the Hammond was moved to the new church (I was only in the new church once, in 1972, for my grandmother's funeral). I often wondered what happened to the pipes of that organ. -Database Manager
