Notes

2015-08-06 - An original installation. Identified by John Igoe, using information from this web site: http://www.agoatlanta.org/organs/. -- -Database Manager

2016-01-24 - The congregation held its last service in this location in 2014. The building was torn down in 2015. -Database Manager

2016-01-30 - Updated through online information from Richard Schneider. <br>I recently saw a program where this buildling was sold to a commercial developer and the organ was removed. I do not have any information as to who did that, but in any event, it is no longer in the building, which has been subsequently demolished to make way for commercial development. -Database Manager

2016-01-30 - Updated through online information from Richard Schneider. <br>This buildling was demolished to make way for a commerical development. The aging congregation of less than 50 people was no longer able to maintain their beautiful building and younger people were unattracted.<br><br>An article describing the processes tried by the congregation to remain viable is presented on the church's website. They are currently meeting in the chapel of another local Baptist Church. -Database Manager

2020-04-10 - The building was sold to Fuqua Developments with the land to be used for a possible 5-story retirement facility; the remaining congregation merged into First Baptist Church, Decatur. -Jeff Scofield
