2020-12-10 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: On June 28, 1902, the cornerstone was laid for a new church that was built nearby on the corner of 53rd Street and 14th Avenue. Costing about $30,000, the three-story structure was built of Connecticut marble and featured a square crenellated tower over the corner entrance. After serving the community for just over 100 years, the Edgewood Reformed Church was disbanded in 1964. The Ledger Book copy of the Letter of Agreement (Jan. 27, 1910) between M.P. Möller and the Edgewood Reformed Church states that Möller would build an organ "complete and ready for use on or before the 26th day of March 1910 positively." The organ was shipped on March 18, 1910. Möller built the casing of quartered oak wood and provided an extended console for the tubular-pneumatic organ. Möller left space behind the rear stop in the Swell box for the addition of a Vox Humana. The total cost of the organ was $2,100, less a $300 allowance for the existing Mason & Hamlin organ. -Jeff Scofield
