2013-01-04 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- The organ was playable when removed in 1966. A proposal by the Delaware Organ Co. of North Tonawanda, New York to rebuild the organ as a two-manual, 12-stop/17-rank/33 register unit organ was rejected in favor of a custom three-manual electronic organ for the same price. The organ was sold to a private individual who placed it in storage in Alfred, New York, where it has remained ever since. The owners are relocating to assisted living, and the organ must find a new home as soon as possible or it will be discarded. -Database Manager
2014-07-14 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- The meeting room is a large rectangle, with the pulpit and altar in the middle of the long side. The room was originally surrounded by shallow galleries on all four sides, and the organ was located in two side-by-side chambers in the gallery over the altar. When the organ was removed in 1965, the entire gallery over the altar was walled over and the chambers converted into classrooms. The action was originally tubular-pneumatic and the primaries were later converted to electro-pneumatic. The original console was in poor condition and discarded when the organ was removed in 1965. -Database Manager
