2010-05-24 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Also known as Lutcher Memorial Church, honoring the Lutcher family whose funds built the church and provided for ongoing projects; the Casavant replaced a Hope-Jones; when the church was built in 1912, it was one of the first air-conditioned buildings in the US and required its own power plant since insufficient electrical power was available in the town. -Database Manager
