Notes

2008-03-09 - Identified from factory documents and publications courtesy of Stephen Schnurr. -Database Manager

2009-10-26 - Updated through on-line information from Jeff Scofield. -- Sanctuary struck by lightning 6/29/71 and destroyed by fire; replaced by new sanctuary in 1974 and 2/22 Möller Op. 10873. -Database Manager

2022-04-07 - Update on the organ at Moffett Memorial Baptist Church in Danville, VA. from 1946. That Moller organ was destroyed in the early 1970s by a fire. I was on the church staff and therefore oversaw the design of the new pipe organ, also a Moller. The fire was caused by lightning and totally destroyed the sanctuary. The 1946 organ was a replacement for another Moller that dated from the early nineteen hundreds, around 1912. -Paul Bowen
