2018-06-18 - Updated by Sumner Jenkins, who gave this as the source of the information: I visited the church in December of 2017 for a downtown churches program. The organ is badly damaged and unplayable. Many of the trebles have been removed and lay, crushed, on a cabinet behind the instrument. The church does wish for the instrument to play again but does not have the funds to restore it.<br> -Database Manager
