2017-06-08 - This entry describes an original installation of a new pipe organ.<br> Identified by William Dunklin, citing information from this publication: a vintage postcard.<br>A postcard mailed in 1918 shows the pipe organ standing in an alcove front and center. The facade pipes are arranged in an un-decorated pipe fence with no visible wood work above the impost. The church's website says this: "In 1905 a much larger pipe organ was constructed and new stained glass windows were added. The organ was electrified in 1934." This organ was replaced by an Austin in 1962, (q.v.) which itself has been replaced. 2017 photos of the church's interior show no trace of this organ, its fate unknown. -Database Manager
