Notes

2009-10-28 - Identified through information in <i>List of More than 5200 Moller Pipe Organs</i> (Hagerstown, Maryland. M. P. Möller, 1928). -Database Manager

2010-01-11 - Updated through online information from J G Walker III. -- Union Avenue UMC will be merging with St Luke's UMC (Memphis) in spring 2010. The building is under contract to be sold. The instrument is not currently being used on a regular basis. The small congregation is worshiping in the chapel. I hope to return next week to check on the instrument again and see the chambers. I understand that there was a lovely echo division (?) located in the dome of the sanctuary. -Database Manager

2010-03-08 - Updated through online information from J G Walker III. -- 3 manual/32 ranks all playing. The echo division is located in the dome of the sanctuary some 40 ft above the floor. Original console has been replaced with an Aeolian-Skinner console. Original trumpet has also been replaced. Currently working to find a new home for this instrument. -Database Manager

2012-02-10 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -- Second-hand Aeolian-Skinner console added ca. 1989; when I visited the church in June 1989, the A-S console was in place and the Möller console had been moved out of the way to the rear of the sanctuary; divisions were Great, Swell, Echo and Pedal. -Database Manager

2012-04-30 - Updated through online information from Jeff Scofield. -Database Manager

2015-07-29 - The building was demolished in 2011 and replaced by a CVS Pharmacy. -Database Manager
