Notes

2014-07-14 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by William Dunklin, using information found in vintage post card. -- The 1873 brick Romanesque church building suffered extensive fire damage on February 3, 1901. The exterior walls survived and a new interior was created in the existing shell. A postcard from 1908 shows the new interior contained a polychromed, free standing organ on a front choir balcony. No indication of the organ builder is given. The congregation moved to a new location in 1956. The building is now a meditation center and the interior has been extensively modernized. Fate of the organ is unknown. -Database Manager
