2009-01-06 - Updated through information received via e-mail from Larry Pruett: "The organ is now housed in the Union Meeting House in Marietta, PA in the rear of the 3-sided gallery. The building was built in 1814 and is now maintained by the non-profit Marietta Restoration Associates. <br><br> The organ was scattered on 3 floors of the old Zion AME Church in Hollidaysburg when we found it about 15 years ago. Restoration was done by myself and my partner William Duck over a period of years and we donated the organ to the Union Meeting House in June of 2008. <br><br> It is difficult to find a good, secure home for small one manual organs with no pedal these days and we knew that Marietta's Union Meeting House would be the perfect place for it. The Union Meeting House is used for weddings, parties and other social functions these days. It was originally built as a meeting place for all of the protestant congregations of Marietta. As each group became able to build their own houses of worship, the Meeting House fell into disuse. It was restored with funds raised by Marietta Restoration Associates during the 1970's.<br><br>It sounds fantastic in the room, which has a barrel vaulted ceiling." -Database Manager
