2022-03-30 - The Presbyterian church planned to share a common central space with the Episcopal church, and this complex was constructed ca. 1974. The Presbyterians worshipped in the common Fellowship Hall meeting space until they finally were able to raise enough money to construct their own church at the opposite of the complex, completed in 2004 with a new Schantz installed in 2005. The Hook organ was sold to a small congregation, possibly in California, who dismantled and transported the organ themselves with a group of volunteers. The outcome of that project is unknown. -Scot Huntington
2022-03-30 - The 12-note Pedal Bourdon was extended to 27 notes (with 39 pipes playing at 16' & 8') by Darren Wissinger under contract to Barbara Owen. The work included a recycled 27-note pedalboard, new windchest, and repurposed pipes. The rank was mechanically duplexed to play at !6' or 8' pitches. The tenor-f Oboe had its compass shortened to middle-c, to facilitate using it as a solo stop. The Oboe contained a number of spurious fill pipes. Other than being fitted with slide tuners and a new Ventus blower, the organ was otherwise unaltered, and the stencilling of its half-round wooden dummies was original and intact. The case was pine, faux-grained oak. -Scot Huntington
