Congregation reorganized as Madison Ave. Congregational in 1891. Building rented to and later purchased by the Gospel Tabernacle. They later sold it to the Manhattan Athletic Club, who razed the building in 1899. It was at this time that the organ was removed by Hook & Hastings and rebuilt for Mount Morris Baptist Church in NYC (later, Mount Moriah Baptist Church). -Database Manager
2019-12-11 - From the NYC AGO NYC Organ Project: For the new Church of the Disciples, an organ was built in 1872 by the E. & G.G. Hook & Hastings Company of Boston. The organ was installed at the rear of the podium in a large freestanding case that featured flared trumpet pipes around a central arch. The attached three-manual console could be concealed by pocket doors having four small windows. The organ was removed before the church was razed in 1899, after which it was rebuilt by Hook & Hastings and relocated to Mount Morris Baptist Church (now Mount Moriah Baptist Church) on Fifth Avenue at 126th Street in Harlem. In 2005, Mt. Moriah made plans to remodel its interior, and in April 2006 sold the organ for $5,000 to The First Baptist Church of Jamaica Plain, Mass., which had lost its E. & G.G. Hook organ (Op. 253, 1859) in a January 2005 fire. -Database Manager
