Notes
2015-06-14 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by William Dunklin, using information found in vintage postcard. <br> According to the church's website, the De Graff Methodist Episcopal Church building was erected in 1873, but extensively remodeled in 1910: the interior orientation was reversed such. A postcard from 1910 shows the remodeled interior with dramatically asymmetrical chancel and a substantial pipe organ case shifted to the right of center. The congregation moved to a new location in 2011. Fate of the organ unknown. -Database Manager
