2013-12-07 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Rodney J. Weed, based on personal knowledge of the organ. -- This organ was originally installed in the Parish's small original church building. When a beautiful new Church was built in Georgian Style Architecture in the early 1960's the organ was enlarged with a beautiful En Chamade Trumpet added to it as well as Voix Celeste (T.C.), 8' Bourdon, 4' Octave and III Mixture. Three Great ranks exposed. Visually attractive instrument in new Church building. In 2000 the diocese closed this parish and sometime after that the building was sold to Changing Lives Assembly of God. -Database Manager
