2022-04-01 - The organ was originally built by one of the Philadelphia German builders for a local church ca. 1855. The organ was eventually acquired by the church in Franklin following an extensive renovation by Adam Stein of Baltimore in 1898, becoming the first pipe organ in town. The church website states they bought the organ in Baltimore, implying Stein acquired the organ, possibly in trade and the Franklin congregation bought the organ from him, not the original church. When Emmanuel moved with the organ into a new building in 1914, it was fitted with an electric blower. The organ remained unaltered thereafter, until it was gifted to St. Thomas Episcopal in Slaterville Springs, N.Y. following the gift to the Franklin church of a new two-manual Kinzey-Angerstein tracker. -Scot Huntington
