DETAILS
This instrument is: Not Extant and Not Playable in this location
In January 1930, this High Street Christian Church and First Congregational Church [home of a Felgemaker organ] on Center Street voted to merge, which took place in 1931. They used the First Congregational building, and it was still used as a church by 1950.
This building appears to have been demolished and replaced in the 1970s, if this is the right location given [hard to tell from Vintage Aerial shots]. The Pilcher organ may have been long-gone by then.

The organ was completed October 1914, at cost $2000, with electro-pneumatic action and Orgoblo wind supply.

Identified through information in Vol. V p. 44 of the factory ledger and a list of Pilcher organs typed by William E. Pilcher of Louisville. For more information see the document referenced below.
