Notes

2007-08-28 - Identified by Jeff Scofield through information in Möller factory documents. -Database Manager

2007-10-10 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -- The building was begun in 1862 but was not completed until 1864. One of the early fund-raisers was Samuel L. Clemens whose brother Orion was a member. The building was remodeled in 1896. Due to structural integrity problems, worship was moved to the new Family Life Center in 1985. This is where the Möller was installed. It is the church's first pipe organ. -Database Manager

2012-01-04 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- The new sanctuary was completed in 2008; not known if the organ was moved or, if so, what form it is in now. -Database Manager
