2018-12-29 - Known as Westminster Presbyterian when the organ was installed, the congregation merged in 1925 with Central Methodist to become Westminster-Central United Church; merged with St. Andrew's United Church in 1950, using the St. Andrew's name and Westminster-Central building; in order to increase revenues, the 1923 building was demolished and a new sanctuary with adjacent office tower was completed in 1981; the organ was relocated to Central United Church, Unionville, Ontario, where it replaced 1952 2/5 Casavant Op. 2104. -Database Manager
