Notes

2009-09-30 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2021-12-02 - The facility is a pair of chapels with a common narthex. Moller opus 3356 is in the rear balcony of the Roman Catholic chapel. Moller opus 3355 is in the chancel of the protestant chapel. Both organs are slated for removal in 2022 during renovation of the facility. Moller opus 3356 has 4 ranks in the swell box. The 8' Open Diapason is outside the box as is the pedal 16' Pedal Bourdon. The facade pipes are all dummies. The original swell action was mechanical. Both organs were originally tubular pneumatic and were electrified sometime during the 1960s. New attached consoles were provided at that time. Original Moller contract documents provided by the OHS indicate that there was to be a single blower to wind both instruments, however, there are 2 Kinetic blowers on site. -William Dunklin
