Notes

2007-12-04 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2008-10-20 - Updated through information from Cullie Mowers, posted to PIPORG-L October 20, 2008: -- A "sleeping giant," an opulently-appointed orchestral instrument with many imitative reeds and a full-bodied ensemble which perfectly suits the high-ceilinged and pleasantly resonant room. The organ has not been maintained for several years, and it shows; but much of it plays usably and gives a strong hint of what else there is to hear. The building is now owned by a private individual who is very interested in having the organ repaired and used. -Database Manager

2012-02-11 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- First Baptist sold the building and was to move to a new location. -Database Manager

2013-03-22 - Updated through online information from Edward Heffron. -Database Manager

2023-04-01 - Merged in 1980 with the Congregational Church to become the United Community Church. -Jeff Scofield
