Notes

2014-08-29 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by William Dunklin, using information found in vintage post card. -- A vintage post card, made after 1908, shows a pipe organ front and center of the church, behind the choir and pulpit. It is a polychromed pipe fence with longest pipes obviously the basses of 8' Open Diapasons. An attached console is just visible. The church's website says that the gothic revival building was completed in 1903. As of 2014, the congregation is still in the same building though the interior has been extensively modernized and the organ case is no longer present. Fate of the organ is unknown. -Database Manager

2024-12-21 - At some point the organ was replaced with a three manual Allen. Guessing the Allen is late 60s or early 70s. I played the Allen in November of 2024. -Matt Gerhard
