2013-01-04 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- The organ was installed in a quartered oak case at the side of the pulpit platform in the right front corner of the small Akron-plan brick church. The organ works were oriented parallel to the wall, but perpendicular to the altar so the organ essentially spoke across the pulpit platform. The case and essentially stock-designed pipe-fence facade enclosed the instrument on two sides: the long side and console facing the altar, and the short side with contrasting stenciling facing the congregation. The pipes were elaborately stenciled in shades of blue, beige, green, black and gold. The contract was signed on April 17th, 1906, and the organ was shipped on September 9th, 1906. The organ had harmonically rich voicing without being thick or opaque in the non-carpeted room.<br><br>The organ was sold to the Lockport congregation through the Organ Clearing House when the congregation disbanded and sold the building to an evangelical congregation, which too subsequently disbanded; the historic church building was torn down sometime after 1998. -Database Manager
