This instrument is: Extant and Playable in this location
Perhaps this organ was relocated in 1967 from Miami to Dogwood Hills Baptist in Atlanta by Hovsepian and then in 2003 to Sandy Springs UMC by Parkey.
Jeff Scofield on October 9th, 2025:
The activities building has been sold. The rest of the campus, deemed too large for the now-smaller congregation to be maintained, is to be demolished and replaced on-site with a smaller campus. The last service in the old sanctuary was held October 5, 2025. The organ has been sold to St. Michael's Episcopal Cathedral, Boise, Idaho.
