Notes

2007-08-23 - Identified by James R. Stettner through information from the Estey Opus List, published in The Boston Organ Club newsletter, 1973-1979. -Database Manager

2023-01-29 - The Church of the United Brethren in Christ merged in 1946 with the former Evangelical Association, then called the Evangelical Church, to form the Evangelical United Brethren Church (E.U.B.). -Jeff Scofield

2024-11-17 - The entry [ed.: previously -- now corrected] referenced the wrong church. The correct Church is Otterbein Memorial United Methodist Church, 3800 Roland Avenue, Baltimore, Maryland 21211. The Estey was removed in the early 1960's and replaced by an Allen Organ. The pipe facade remains. The church is now known as Good Shepherd UM Church. Their website is https://goodshepherdhampden.org/. A picture on the site shows the sanctuary and the abandoned Estey Organ facade. I played the Allen once in the 1990's and can arrest to the Church sanctuary. Information received online from Mark Hurley 2024-11-15 -Paul R. Marchesano
