2016-12-13 - Updated through online information from Steve Bartley. <br>A postcard of the interior of the St. John's building, at the St Paul's St 7 28th Street, reveals that the Niemann organ, moved to this building, from their previous building is fitted with the decorative facade of the 3 manual 1880 Niemann organ built for the Sanctuary of the Catholic Cathedral. This organ only lasted 9 years and was removed, sold to the new Associate Reformed Church on Preston St., by Niemann, but with a new facade. The St. Johns facade (from the Cathedral) was designed by architect E. Francis Baldwin. -Database Manager
