2023-09-09 - Organ in gallery (Photograph by Church website, submitted by Jeff Scofield/Jeff Scofield)
2023-11-07 - The organ was originally installed in the former church building; replaced in 1952 in the new building by 3/17 Moller Op. 8243 and was moved to the choir suite in the new building; a contract was signed with ohn Allen Farmer for restoration and relocation to the sanctuary balcony. The contract was signed in 2005, and the instrument was dismantled and transported to the Farmer shop in January, 2006. Work began soon afterward, following the “Guidelines for Preservation” as established by the Organ Historical Society, Inc. The project consisted of cleaning, repairing, and refinishing all existing parts and pipes, re-leathering the bellows, windchests, and pipe stoppers, constructing new casework and façade pipes missing from the original design, adding a new silent electric blower, and reinstalling the organ in the rear gallery of the sanctuary. More specifically, because the remaining part of the case was the original oak paneling surrounding the console area, all new upper and side casework would be constructed of matching quartersawn oak in the style of the original case. White paint would be removed from the existing console area and the keyboards recovered with legal ivory. The façade pipes, which by 1919 had been painted gold, would be stripped and repainted with the original stencil design. -Jeff Scofield
