2025-03-27 - From church organ history web page: The first stone building of the Presbyterian Church was built in 1824-1825, by 1828 the church had its first pipe organ. The second pipe organ was installed in 1867 as a result of the 1866 second rebuilding of the church. This instrument had 2 manuals, 25 stops, 1300 pipes, installed in the rear of the sanctuary overlooking the balcony. The Pipe Organ was moved to the front of the sanctuary in 1887 when the sanctuary was redecorated. At that time it was in the front right corner. In 1898 the instrument was revoiced In 1917 the organ was rebuilt by Mr. Viner at the cost of $5000. Changed from a tracker action organ to a electro-pneumatic action with the addition of pipes making the new total 1431. By 1958 a committee was formed to look at what do to with the organ in serious need of re-building. The 5 top organ builders looked at each advised that it would cost more to re-build than to put in an entire new one. It was recommended by the organ committee that the church move forward with ordering and purchasing and new pipe organ, quickly since, at that time with the backlog, it would be a project that would take about 3 years to complete. The building itself in the church would only be 2 weeks. At a meeting of joint Boards of the church (Trustees, Deacons and Session) on May 7, 1958 “It was moved, duly seconded and unanimously carried, to submit to the congregation the report of the Organ Committee and its recommendations to purchase a new organ for not to exceed $29730, plus new grille and casement work in the amount of approximately $5000. -Paul R.
