Paul R. Marchesano on February 18th, 2021:
The Lutheran congregation met here "well into the 18th century". It has been occupied by an Episcopal congregation since 1791.
Paul R. Marchesano on February 18th, 2021:
Old Swedes Church’s current organ (located in the gallery) was a donation by the Austin Organ Company of Hartford, Connecticut. After a fire in 1964 badly damaged the previous organ, the Austin Company donated this model to aid in the Church’s $100,000 restoration efforts. This organ remains a central part of the interior and fills the entire structure with music. -- fromHistoric Old Swedes Instagram

Updated through online information from Tom Gillette. -- Originally a Lutheran Church when the Swedes settled Wilmington, but now an Episcopal Church and part of Trinity Episcopal Parish.
