2007-02-24 - Identified through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The organ is housed in a free-standing case at the front, right side of the room. The 5-sectional façade contains 33 pipes arranged: 6-3-15-3-6. The pipes were painted a background color with light tracery. The new church - renamed Trinity Baptist - was built in 1954. It was equipped with a new 3-manual Möller. The disposition of the Hinners is unknown. -Database Manager
