2016-09-13 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ. Identified by Steve Bartley, using information found in Lewis & Hitchcock service file from 1920s & 30s. <br>This instrument was reworked by Lewis & Hitchcock as their opus 175,(32 ranks) installed in 1930. The federal government took the original building, in 1944, and the congregation moved to its present location on K street. When the new building was completed in 1948, the organ, from the old building was inserted in a very deep and narrow chamber of the new building. Over the ensuing years it suffered from water infiltration, deferred maintenance, and a cramped chamber, being replaced in the 1996 by a Schoenstein organ. -Database Manager
