2004-10-30 - Originally built for the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Roman Catholic Basilica in Baltimore. Relocated to the [then] new Associate Reformed Church by the original builder with a new facade. Electrified and rebuilt Lewis & Hitchcock in 1963, as 2-11 (?). -Database Manager
2023-10-02 - (from entry for the organ that replaxed this) Updated through online information from Steve Bartley. -- In the early 1960s the rear of the organ chamber was sliced off as part of a building project. A school building for the congregation was added to the building complex. The original Niemann organ provided a very small space for a few singers and the Greek congregation desired a larger space for a full choir. These two conditions, smaller chamber and larger choir space necessitated a smaller organ. Lewis & Hitchcock was hired to provide a smaller organ for the available space. 11 ranks of the Niemann organ were used plus a new reed. The unified Great 8' Open Diapason was provided 12 bass pipes from the old 16' Double Open Diapason to provide a 16' open in the Pedal, and the Stopped Diapason was provided 12 bass pipes from the original Swell 16' Bourdon to allow it to also play at the 16 pitch. -Louie Damico
