From the Queens Village Neighborhood Association website, "Emanuel was shuttered in fall 2008 and has merged with the St. John the Evangelist Church at 1332 South 3rd Street."

Last year I sent a glossy black and white booklet to OHS with fine photographs, specifications, and history of the two instruments at this church.

Updated through information posted to PipeChat August 17, 2009 by Larry Wheelock: -- Patrick Murphy has examined the instrument and reports water-damage. Another source says the water damage was not as severe as I had been led to believe and that the damage was confined to a portion of the Hauptwerk chest only; he was confident that it could be repaired. It seems that preliminary arrangements have been made for the instrument to be removed in its entirety to Michigan. The gentleman who is planning the rescue will install the instrument in a house built to hold a pipe-organ.

Updated through information posted to the OHS Members List June 20, 2009 by Laurence Libin: -- A phone call ... informs us that a 32-stop tracker in North German style, assembled by Edward Ohl in 1971 (maybe occupying the case of the previous Durner), is available from Emanuel Lutheran Church at 4th and Carpenter in South Philadelphia; the building is being sold. A smaller tracker from 1965 might also be sold or given away.

Brustwerk chest and 3rk of pipes were from the 1865 chapel organ. [Possibly a Jardine, referenced below?]
