2022-02-28 - The church was seriously damaged by fire in 1914. The Johnson was presumed destroyed, but may have survived in some capacity and been renovated by an unknown builder. In 1938 the Kilgen company installed a new organ, which was rebuilt and enlarged as a three-manual by the Tellers company in 1965. Circa 1974-75, the church was utterly destroyed by an arson fire leaving only parts of two walls. The church exists in a new and much smaller building, and is not believed to contain a real organ. -Scot Huntington
