Winston Salem, North Carolina
St. Timothy's Episcopal Church
There has been discussion as to the date of the organ. It was first listed at l860;
then l851 was discussed, but we feel the date of l848 is the more correct
date. George Jardine made this instrument.
Original Location: St. Bartholomew's Episcopal Church, Pittsboro, NC, from
l848(?) To April 26 2008, approximately 160 years.
Present Location: St. Timothy's Episcopal Church, 3575 Parkway Drive, Winston
Salem NC 27103. Moved to St. Timothy's Chapel on April 26, 2008 by John Farmer

Case is Faux Grain on Pine; finish is original and has not been restored.
All the common metal pipes are cone tuned and the pipes are in extremely good
condition and the flutes are as pristine as the day they were made.
One could compare this instrument to a one owner car that was driven only on
Sundays to church. It is a one owner organ until St Timothy's purchased and
moved it on April 26, 2008.
I helped John with the installation of the instrument in St Timothy's as we both
are members there.
