2025-05-02 - This entry represents the installation of a used organ. Identified through online information from Mark A. Smith (May 2, 2025): Opus 5261 was removed from the Masonic Temple's Daughters of the Nile room in Rochester, NY. by members of the First United Church of West Webster in Webster, NY. They rebuilt and enlarged it with material from their 1937 Kohl instrument, and rededicated it on March 4, 2000. (source=dedication recital program) Subsequently, the congregation disbanded, and on July 25, 2021 the Webster Town Zoning board discussed the conversion of the church building into a single-family residence. (source=Webster Citizens Action League Facebook) This plan fell through, and the building is for sale (5/2/2025) with commercial zoning. The status of the organ is unknown. -Jim Stettner
2025-05-02 - The building has evidently been re-seeded as a new Methodist congregation called New Life United Methodist Church. -Jim Stettner
