1894 - Choir Loft and Organ Case (Photograph from an archival source: Central United Church: 100th Anniversary, 1862-1962, submitted by Andrew Henderson/Andrew Henderson)
2023-06-25 - The first pipe organ in the Methodist Church in Welland was the work of an unknown builder, installed after the church building was completed in 1882 and before an 1894 dated photograph of the church interior which shows the organ, as found in the 1962 church history. According to the *Welland Tribune* (May 21, 1907) reporting on the rebuilding of the instrument by the Warren Church Organ Co., the Warren firm "built in the keyboard and pipes of the old organ, but on the whole the organ is new ... new features are the pedal and swell organ which are operated by the pedals and top key-board respectively ... the old organ had only 324 [pipes]." -Andrew Henderson
