The Laffayette Square church was purchasing a new organ, and sold to the Georgetown church, for $2000. Another $2,000 was spent on refurbishing, added electric motor for winding, and installing in the new location. A photograph was shown, of the facade and casework. St. John's Georgetown sold their 40 yr old organ to St. Peter's RC church Southeast DC (Capital Hill) for $200. This older organ may have been the 1864 Wm Johnson Organ listed on the OHS Database. -Steven Bartley
