2022-01-29 - The photo of the organ in the front choir loft is from the church's second building during the congregation's 50th anniversary celebration (1836-1886). The church building was constructed from 1843 to 1847 at the corner of Villa Street and Fulton Street in Elgin, and it was eventually sold to the Swedish Lutheran Society in July of 1888. It may be the organ in the photo is an earlier instrument than what church records describe below: "With the growing congregation, during 1869 and 1870, the church was rebuilt and enlarged. An organ loft was added at the rear of the church, the steeple rebuilt, a gallery put in, the roof was raised, the interior redecorated[,] and an organ put in."
