Notes

2023-01-22 - This entry for an electric-action organ is for a new custom-built organ for this church. This is likely a new and larger building for this congregation, the previous organ was a larger 2-manual electric-action organ built by the Delaware Organ Co. ca. 1968, reusing some unidentified older material. A photo of the Delaware appears to show a different ediface, and the present church appears to be larger than that seen in the Delaware image. In 2021-2022, several facade pipes fell out and were repaired by the Parsons Organ Co. An unexplained Facebook posting for this church states "the organbuilders from Holland came to install the organ and stayed across the street with a family that speaks Dutch". What this has to do with an organ the firm installed 38 years earlier, needs further explanation. -Scot Huntington
