2013-01-04 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- The building was built in the 1930s. The church closed in 2004 and the congregation merged with St. Ann's, Hornell. Church building sold in 2011 and became the New Hope Wesleyan Church, a branch congregation of the Buena Vista Wesleyan Church in nearby Canisteo, NY. The orientation of the church was reversed, i.e the congregation faces the front door under the original choir/organ gallery. The fate of the organ and its continued use in this building are under investigation. -Database Manager
2013-01-05 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- A phone conversation with the new pastor of the New Hope congregation confirmed that during the 7 years the building was unoccupied, the organ deteriorated. Given the cost of restoration for a congregation for whom the pipe organ was not an essential part of their worship tradition, they elected to find a buyer for the organ. With no interested parties immediately materializing, they allowed the St. Ann's Church in Hornell, (now the consolidated parish of Our Lady of the Valley which absorbed the St. Ignatius congregation), to take any pipework they wished for the purposes of replacing or augmenting the historic pipework in the St. Ann's Garret House instrument. An as yet undetermined amount of pipework was taken for this purpose, and the remainder of the Moller instrument was consigned to the Town of Hornell landfill. -Database Manager
