Notes
2009-09-05 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager
2020-06-30 - I visited the church June 29, 2020. The church is lovely, with a splendid church yard full of gorgeous trees. The building was designed by Richard Upjohn. Compared to other eastern North Carolina "country" churches which are often white, and of wood, this brick church is particularly grand, even though small. It is a pre-civil was building that was occupied by Union soldiers during the war. The windows are 20th century of varying dates.
The Moller organ appears to be extant and intact with the exception of the console, which was removed some time ago and replaced with an electronic organ, the speakers of which are mounted on top of the swell box.
All pipework appears extant and as the pictures show, demonstrate the opus number 2385. -Andrew Scanlon
2020-06-30 - Adding detail to my previous note:
The entire organ with the exception of the 16' pedal bourdon and one (most likely Principal 8') rank appeared to be enclosed in one expression box. At least some facade pipes were speaking as evidence of wind supply to facade was seen.
Best guess was that the lowest of the 8' Principal or Diapason were in facade, with the remainder immediaely behind the facade. The 16' Bourdon was in two rows on the left side of the case. The remainder of the pipework was inside the expression box. -Andrew Scanlon
