Notes

2018-05-11 - Information from Hillgreen, Lane & Co. opus list, compiled by Bynum Petty<br> Contract: June 1957<br> Some pipes retained from the church's old organ (Hillgreen, Lane, Op. 173, 1908).<br> Price: $15,000 -Database Manager

2022-03-19 - The congregation built a substantial new brick church and school complex in 1957. The original tubular-pneumatic organ was returned to the factory for electrification, refurbishment, and updating. The rebuilt organ was about 35% smaller than the original. Recent Youtube videos of church services here (2021-22), show a variety of guitars and pianos (one real) performing praise music with little audience participation, while the real organ sits unused. -Scot Huntington
