2017-08-09 - Updated by David Hendricksen, naming this as the source of information: history files at First Presbyterian Church, Greeneville. <br> <br>I am the present Music Director here at FPC. References in church records indicate a two manual Moller organ being installed in 1924. The church burned in 1928, leaving only the exterior walls. The organ was destroyed. The instrument was apparently replaced with a more or less identical organ after the fire. I don't know whether the instrument referenced by Mr. Schnurr was the original Moller, or the post-fire replacement. Much of the pipework of the Moller was incorporated into the 1964 3 manual instrument by the Greenwood Organ Company. In 1993, Schantz built a new 3 manual instrument incorporating pipework from the Greenwood instrument. So it is possible that some of the old Moller pipework is still integrated into the present instrument, passed from one builder to another, but that is only conjecture on my part. -Database Manager
