2012-11-10 - This entry describes the rebuild of an existing organ. Identified by Richard C Greene, based on information learned from a conversation with David Engen. -- The building and organ were built in 1958 to serve the congregation of Trinity Covenant Church in Crystal, MN. The building and organ were sold to the Bethany Russian Baptist Congregation where it served for ten years. It now belongs to the RiverTree School. -Database Manager
2012-11-28 - Updated through online information from Peter Vanderwaal. -- This organ was originally built for Swedish Evangelical Gethsemane Church in 1916-1917 by the Moller Organ Company (the building was located at West Broadway and Aldrich). In 1958, the church moved to the current location (also became Trinity Covenant) and also moved the organ. The organ was slightly expanded and in 1988 a cymbelstern was added. The church closed its doors in 2001 and the building was bought by the Russian Baptist Church who occupied it until 2012. The building now belongs to RiverTree School. -Database Manager
