2018-07-12 - Updated by William M. Worden <br>\r\nThe Westminster Church building of 1881 was sold c. 1918 for demolition; on its site was built the famous Orchestra Hall, home of the Detroit Symphony. As the replacement building is listed for an Austin, one assumes that the Moller rebuild of the Johnson was sold or destroyed. -Database Manager
