2024-07-22 - Updated through online information from Jimmy Thompson (July 20, 2024): First Presbyterian has sold this property (2021) and it is now a construction zone (google maps Nov 2023). The fate of the organ is unknown. First Pres has built a new thoroughly modern facility on Horatio Street in Tampa. https://firstprestampa.org/home/fp-20new-building-update -Jim Stettner

2024-07-22 - Updated through online information from James R. Stettner: I called the church and spoke with the secretary. The Moller was left behind here in the Zack St. church. The building was declared an historic building, so the edifice can't be destroyed. The secretary said she didn't think the new owners would use the organ. -Jim Stettner
