2013-04-28 - Altered and relocated existing organ. Identified by David Childs, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- The Church of Our Saviour is blessed with a fine, historic pipe organ, which dates back to 1873. It was constructed as Opus 69 by Steere and Turner from Westfield, Massachusetts for the Third Congregational Church of Guilford, Connecticut. The South Carolina connection begins in 1977 when it was installed in St. Alban's Chapel in memory of Cadet John L. Toole. The cadets lovingly and carefully moved the organ pipe by pipe and piece by piece to Johns Island. In 1986 it was clear it needed renovations which were carried out by organ builder, John Farmer; these were finished and the newly refurbished organ was moved to the Church of Our Saviour in 1992. -Database Manager
